Canadian actress-turned-director Sarah Polley won the best film prize for her Oscar-nominated debut feature "Away From Her" at the inaugural Canadian Indie Awards in Ottawa Wednesday.

Polley received an Oscar nod for adapted screenplay, while Christie will compete for best actress at the 80th annual Academy Awards on Sunday.
The Canadian Indie Awards were handed out on the first night of the Canadian Film and Television Producers Assn. conference.
