The 2021 Sundance Film Festival is concluding Tuesday night with a virtual awards ceremony to honor the projects that earned top jury prizes in the festival’s competition categories. Comedian Patton Oswalt is hosting the event – “or as I’m known at Sundance, discount Giamatti,” he joked when opening the show. Winners will be updated here throughout.

As with so many other live events, the COVID-19 pandemic forced Sundance to radically alter how it conducted the 2021 festival, which traditionally unfolds over 10 days in Park City, Utah. Instead, the full festival this year is running for six days, and along with screenings in Park City, the festival has hosted screenings virtually, as well as at drive-ins, arthouse theaters and cultural institutions across the entire country, including in Alabama, Colorado, Hawaii, Ohio, New York, Texas and Puerto Rico.

The full list of winners will be updated below as they’re announced.
