The juries for the 2026 Sundance Film Festival are scheduled to announce this year's award winners on Friday morning in Park City, Utah.

The World and U.S. Documentary Competitions also have their own sets of jurors.
Festival director Eugene Hernandez praised the jury for their "depth of creative conviction and exceptional range," emphasizing their role in discovering films that shape independent cinema. The Alfred P. Sloan Feature Film Prize was already awarded to Andrew Stanton's "In the Blink of an Eye." Sundance awards have historically served as a launchpad for eventual Oscar nominees, with films like "CODA" and "Summer of Soul" achieving this success.
