Congrats to Angelina Jole, Brad Pitt and the cast and crew of AMH. AMH is an amazing film and AJ gave an outstanding performance. Plan B is a mover and shaker and is making quality films. I wish BP and Plan B much success in the future. Congrats to Don Cheadle. Cheadle is very good actor and gave an amazing performance in “Talk to Me”. If you have not seen this move check it out on DVD along with AMH.

Hey, I said I didn’t think it was eligible. I never said I didn’t want her to get nominated. I love Angelina and am happy whenever she gets recognition.

Hehehe So happy for them. I think she wanted this one because she mentioned it in an interview.

When there no picts thank goodness for the news. Almost as good.

As the first event to honor independent film exclusively, Film Independent’s Spirit Awards, formerly known as the Independent Spirit Awards, has made a name for itself as the premier awards event for the independent film community. Keeping with its roots and L.A. location, the Spirit Awards take place each year inside a beachfront tent in Santa Monica, California. The Spirit Awards is a celebration of independent filmmakers who bring a unique vision and a spirit of independence to filmmaking. The Spirit Awards is produced by Film Independent, the largest non-profit membership organization dedicated to cultivating the careers of independent filmmakers, building the audience for independent films, and increasing diversity in the film industry.
