The Fantastic Fest Award winners were announced. Not surprisingly, Nacho Vigalondo’s Timecrimes (Cronoscrimines) took top honors, winning the “Best Feature” award in the AMD Next Wave Competition. Vigalondo was awarded a $3500 editing system from AMD/Dell and a $1000 cash prize. The best part is that by winning this award, Timecrimes might actually get US distribution and a DVD release, meaning that everyone can see this amazing film.

In other awards, the Chilean martial arts picture Mirageman won the Audience Award. The creepy Offscreen won the Fantastic Film Award. Exte: The Hair Extensions won the Horror Feature Award. Several short film competitions were awarded as well. Go here for full details about all the awards.

Congratulations to all the winners.
