Sundance Swag Watch

Sundance gave birth to eight style lounges this year, most within a half-mile of each other. After all, when you're a B-list celebrity loading up on items you'll likely regift, you don't really want to have to walk far, right? Amid overt corporate branding and overstocked bars, these lounges played host to innumerable scenes of gifting excess. Radar caught some pros in action ...

Woody Harrelson's love for swag is matched only by his ability to secure it. What's even better is that he's perfectly, charmingly open about it. When the actor dropped by the Film Lounge Media Center, he stopped by the Anne Klein Sport booth and in response to their offer of products, chirped "if it's free, it's for me," and fled with a bag of goodies. The following day Harrelson loafed about at the MySpace café with a collection of bags that sang of a fruitful day at the gift bank.

Elsa Pataky breezed through Kari Feinstein's style lounge, snatching up Marnie Rocks jewelry and wine from Bontera Vineyards for herself at first pass. Upon further consideration, she backstepped for boyfriend Adrien Brody and scored a home lighting system for the Oscar-winner. The better to, you know, videotape with.

• Village at the Yards was a top spot for comedians to pick up their freebies. Saturday Night Live's Jason Sudeikis, sporting an enormous beard, picked up some bedroom toys for him and wifey from Pure Romance's suite, while fellow cast member Kristen Wiig kept warm with some outdoor thug-gear courtesy of Timberland.

Bill Pullman and Alan Rickman, stars of Nobel Son, hit up the Andrew Marc booth at Hollywood Life House and picked up matching leather jackets. It provided them with a few chuckles before they filed into their film's after-party.

• Not to be outdone, Wu-Tang Clan's Method Man did some damage at Triple Five Soul, snapping up a few jackets and hats. The kicker? He did it as CNN waited patiently for their interview with him. Gangster!
