"Blood Brother" won over audiences and Sundance Film Festival judges.
• Both American films won audience awards and grand jury prizes Saturday at the Sundance Awards.
• "Fruitvale" is based on the true story of Oscar Grant, who was 22 years old when he was shot and killed in a public transit station in Oakland, Calif. First-time filmmaker Ryan Coogler wrote and directed the dramatic narrative.
• "This project was about humanity, about human beings and how we treat each other; how we treat the people that we love the most, and how we treat the people that we don't know," the 26-year-old said as he accepted the final prize of the night. "To get this award means that it had a profound impact on the audience that saw it, on the people that were responsible for picking it up. And this goes back to my home, to the Bay Area, where Oscar Grant lived, breathed, slept, loved, fought, had fun, and survived for 22 years."
• Fox Searchlight founder and Sundance juror Tom Rothman said "Fruitvale" was recognized for "its skillful realization, its devastating emotional impact and its moral and social urgency -- and for anyone out there who thinks for one second that movies don't matter and can't make a difference in the world.

• MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) -- Novak Djokovic remembers when he was about 11 and meeting a boy his age named Andy Murray.
• The young Murray from Dunblane, Scotland, was "quite pale," recalled the Serbian, known as "The Joker" for his wisecracks.
• Back then, they were playing on the juniors' circuit "just trying to play tennis and enjoy the game," Djokovic said. Little did either know that later in life they would keep running into each other on tennis' biggest stages.
• On Sunday, Djokovic and Murray meet for their third Grand Slam final at the Australian Open. It is the latest rematch in a rivalry that Djokovic describes as unique because they've known each other since childhood.
• "It's nice to see somebody that you grew up with doing so well," the 25-year-old Serbian player said Saturday. "We know each other since we were 11, 12 years old. I guess that adds something special to our rivalry."
