Surreal to see someone go from their first role as a pharmacy clerk to winning a Sundance award for their performance in the span of 5 years. Massive congrats, Grace!

Not to be a wet blanket but the short film awards are mostly pointless and arbitrary, particularly in acting categories. The only short worth seeing this year was Peacock, very weak year all around in the features and shorts categories. It happens, they'll rebound next year.
