Indie Spirit awards announced

By Eric Robinette | Tuesday, December 2, 2008, 12:50 PM

Let the Awards season begin! The Independent Spirit Awards have been announced; here is the list.

Haven’t had the opportunity to see many of the nominees but kudos to Rachel Getting Married, which is indeed one of the best films of the year, and a YES! goes out to the nomination of Anne Hathaway, who did some of the best work I’ve seen all year. Congrats, too, to her fellow nominees Rosemarie DeWitt and Debra Winger.

I also applaud the nomination for Penelope Cruz in Woody Allen’s Vicky Cristina Barcelona, and of Melissa Leo in Frozen River, though I thought the latter was rather overrated.

Thoughts, anyone?
