NAICA did not attend the awards ceremony because we are a small press without big ass sponsors, so we weren’t given tickets.  I hate second-hand news, but Little Miss Sunshine forked over a ton o’ cash to send IndieWIRE to attend Sundance in exchange for massive amounts of streaming ads begging for Oscar consideration and since we are a small truly independent press without million dollar sponsors thus millions of readers we don’t count. But their news is breaking news so here goes:
