Here Come The 2007 Indie Spirit AwardsBy Lexi Feinberg: 2006-11-28 00:00:00
While the Oscars get most of the buzz for movie awards (sorry, Golden Globes), let’s not forget about the Little Engine That Could—the Independent Spirit Awards. The less-pompous, more-accessible awards ceremony airs annually on the IFC channel, and features a slew of memorable underdogs. Sarah Silverman hosted last year, and her crude humor must have left an impression, since she’ll be returning for seconds. According to Film Independent, the nominees for the 2007 Spirit Awards have been announced. You can check out the list below (minus the Special Awards), and don’t forget to watch the actual show on Saturday, February 24 at 5:00 p.m. EST. Some of these are givens (Altman not winning for his last film? Come on now) and some of them are surprises (haven’t seen the The Dead Girl, but due to the volume of nominations, it’s probably worth the effort). Here is the main list: SPECIAL DISTINCTION AWARD David Lynch and Laura Dern BEST FEATURE American Gun The Dead Girl Half Nelson Little Miss Sunshine Pan’s Labyrinth BEST DIRECTOR Robert Altman - A Prairie Home Companion Jonathan Dayton & Valerie Faris - Little Miss Sunshine Ryan Fleck - Half Nelson Karen Moncrieff - The Dead Girl Steven Soderbergh - Bubble BEST FIRST FEATURE Day Night Day Night Man Push Cart The Motel Sweet Land Wristcutters: A Love Story JOHN CASSAVETES AWARD (best feature made for under $500,000) Chalk Four Eyed Monsters Old Joy Quinceanera Twelve and Holding BEST SCREENPLAY Neil Burger - The Illusionist Nicole Holofcener - Friends with Money Ron Nyswaner - The Painted Veil Jason Reitman - Thank You For Smoking Jeff Stanzler - Sorry, Haters BEST FIRST SCREENPLAY Michael Arndt - Little Miss Sunshine Anna Boden & Ryan Fleck - Half Nelson Goran Dukic - Wristcutters: A Love Story Dito Montiel - A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints Gabrielle Zevin - Conversations with Other Women BEST FEMALE LEAD Shareeka Epps - Half Nelson Catherine O’Hara - For Your Consideration Elizabeth Reaser - Sweet Land Michelle Williams - Land of Plenty Robin Wright Penn - Sorry, Haters BEST MALE LEAD Aaron Eckhart - Thank You For Smoking Ryan Gosling - Half Nelson Edward Norton - The Painted Veil Ahmad Razvi - Man Push Cart Forest Whitaker - American Gun BEST SUPPORTING FEMALE Melonie Diaz - A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints Marcia Gay Harden - American Gun Mary Beth Hurt - The Dead Girl Frances McDormand - Friends with Money Amber Tamblyn - Stephanie Daley BEST SUPPORTING MALE Alan Arkin - Little Miss Sunshine Raymond J.
