PARK CITY -- Two films that premiered at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival -- Sarah Polley's Alzheimer's drama "Away From Her" and Tamara Jenkins' dysfunctional-family tale "The Savages" -- each received Oscar nominations for Best Actress and for their screenplays.

"Away From Her" scored nominations for Polley's adapted screenplay, and for Julie Christie's performance as a woman losing her identity to Alzheimer's. Jenkins was nominated in the original-screenplay category, and star Laura Linney was honored for her portrayal as a daughter dealing with the guilt of putting her father in a nursing home.

Other nominees with Sundance connections:

• The Irish musical "Once," a hit at last year's festival, earned one nomination for Original Song, for the haunting ballad "Falling Slowly." It's up against the song "Raise It Up" from "August Rush," and three tunes from "Enchanted."
• Two documentaries that debuted at Sundance '07, the Iraq war indictment "No End in Sight" and the Ugandan refugee tale "War/Dance," are up for the Documentary Feature Oscar. A third nominee, the Guantanamo story "Taxi to the Dark Side," was directed by Alex Gibney, whose "Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson," is playing at this year's festival.
