2013 Independent Spirit Award Nominations


With the holidays comes awards season. And the Independent Spirit Awards are among my favorites. The show airs on IFC March 1, 2014, the night before the Oscars, and this year will be hosted by funnyman Patton Oswalt (last in Seeking a Friend for the End of the World). You can tell by the links below I've written about some of the nominees, missed a few, and am eagerly anticipating others making it to our neck o' the woods. If I have info on how to see these, it follows each title. (This year I don't expect to be making my OCD list of nominations and wins alphabetized by movie title. I'm glad I was able to catch up enough this week so as to continue the blog at all!)
