Little Miss Sunshine is a 2006 American drama film directed by Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris. The filmmakers received more than sixty awards for it, including two Academy Awards (Alan Arkin for Best Supporting Actor and Michael Arndt for Best Original Screenplay) and two BAFTAs (for the same categories).

Seven-year-old Olive Hoover lives in a rather unusual family. Her father, Richard, is a failed motivational coach; her brother, Dwayne, has taken a vow of silence; her uncle Frank is gay and suicidal; her grandfather Edwin is addicted to heroin; and her mother Sheryl is slowly starting to lose her grip. When Olive learns that she has qualified for the finals of the Little Miss Sunshine pageant, the whole family decides to travel from Albuquerque to California in their old Volkswagen van.
