Discuss: What Will Win the Heineken Audience Award?
Tags: Heineken Audience Award
The Heineken Audience Award is all about you, Festival-goers, and those unforgettable flicks that make you laugh, cry, gasp, and applaud.
The first batch of standings are IN. Check back each day for the current tally.
Last year's big winner was fan-favorite Rush: Beyond the Lighted Stage, which was released in theaters last June and is available now on DVD and Blu-ray. Coming in a close second was the fun and warmhearted Snowmen, following the adventures of 10-year-old Billy and his misfit friends as they hatch a scheme to set a Guinness World Record. Third place went to Arias with a Twist: The Docufantasy, a joyously uplifting celebration of the creative process and the inventive, outrageous downtown art scene of New York from the past 30 years.
Previous winners have leaned heavily towards documentaries, including War Child (2008), We Are Together (2007), Cats of Mirikitani (2006), Street Fight (2005), and Every Mother's Son in 2004. The 2003 award was split between a feature, Together, and the documentary Keeping Time: The Life, Music & Photography of Milt Hinton.

What do you think will win this year? A sports documentary? A dark drama? A fun family flick?

Discuss: What Will Win the 2010 Heineken Audience Award?
The Heineken Audience Award is all about you, Festival-goers, and which movies make you laugh, cry, gasp, and applaud.
Last year's big winner was the crowd-pleaser City Island, which was released in NYC and LA on March 19, thanks to Anchor Bay. The second and third place winners were both documentaries, Racing Dreams and Midgets vs. Mascots. Racing Dreams also took home the Best Documentary Feature Award, sponsored by Bialla & Associates, and DreamWorks is planning to adapt it. Meanwhile, the fourth place winner, Departures, took home the Best Foreign Film Oscar in 2009!
