Little Miss Sunshine is a 2006 American tragicomedy road film and the feature film directorial debut of the husband–wife team of Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris.

Toni Awards: Best of Toni Collette

For nearly four decades, Toni Collette has become one of our most celebrated actors, delivering intense, empathetic, and intriguing performances, finding the depths of her characters and leaving audiences breathless. You can't talk about hitmaking movies like MURIEL'S WEDDING or the horror movie that put A24 on the map HEREDITARY without her impassioned, startling presence. Able to transform her elastic face whatever the role, Collette continues to defy our expectations.
