Willem Dafoe, Elisabeth Moss and 'Hustlers,' 'The Farewell' and 'American Factory' directors on worries earlier 2019 movies will be forgotten by awards voters amid crowded season

, with star Awkwafina taking home the best actress award. And writer-director Lulu Wang said she was just grateful for the success her small film had already achieved.

"I think that A24 has done an incredible job in the release strategy. The reality is most films don't go from Sundance all the way until where we've come," Wang told. "And regardless of when it's released, I think that's just the fact of the matter because it's a smaller film. There's not a million celebrities in it. Our film was made for $3 million, so I don't think we expected to have the success that we had in the release in itself.

"I want to give an award to anyone who's ever seen it because I feel like it's a tough movie to watch and it's intense and I feel like as many people who have seen it as they have and that critics responded like they did — we've gotten some awards recognition — is already far and above what I could have dreamed for it, honestly," Moss told.

"There are films you probably saw 10-15 years ago that you still revisit and you still talk to people about and you refer to, so I don't think people forget a really good movie," she said. "And I think we made a really good movie."
