A UK blog, ContactMusic.com, reports that Oscar winner Tilda Swinton says Utah's Sundance Film Festival has become "a polluted lagoon," where celebrities and stars are sucked under by crass promotional freebies.

Swinton, who won the Supporting Actress Oscar for Michael Clayton, was at Sundance with her new film Derek, which she wrote and produced. The Scottish actress, who made a freakish Oscar acceptance speech ("George Clooney, ... seeing you climb into that rubber bat suit from Batman & Robin, the one with the nipples, every morning), says she was ostracized when she told organizers she wanted nothing to do with the "swag."

Everybody went there to enjoy the crystal waters and the white sand, and they just messed it up with swag bags and studio deals. I actually said I didn't want any swag, and it was not kindly taken. Someone almost said to me, 'Well, what are you doing here then?'

O.K. Let's try to decode this. "Crystal waters" refers to the Jordanelle Reservoir? Vodka? And "white sand" is Utah's powder snow? Cocaine?

Or is there another Sundance in January? In Australia. Or on Mars.
