What is the spirit award? anyonecare to explain?
********************************
Here is an explanation from wikipedia, hope it helps
Independent Spirit Awards were originally known as the FINDIE Awards (”Friends of Independents”) and presented winners with acrylic glass pyramids containing suspended shoestrings representing the paltry budgets of independent films. In 1986, the event was renamed the Independent Spirit Awards in honor of the talented and tenacious souls who drive creativity in the film industry. The Independent Spirit Awards are presented by Film Independent, a non-profit organization dedicated to independent film and independent filmmakers. In 2007 the ceremony was slightly changed to Film Independent’s Spirit Awards

That’s very late. That’s after Oscar. well, I am happy for Brad and Angie.
Angelina has an Oscar & GG but she doesn’t have a Spirit Award. I think she will win this.
She could have easily played that role in an over the top way but it was very restrained and controlled.
Cate the great will continue to knock people over in her march toward acting greatness
Don Cheadle is the man. Very good actor. Tony Leung and Phillip Seymour Hoffman, very good actors.
I loved Persepolis. It’s an animation made to look like the graphic novel it originally came from.
I think I’m gonna like this award show. Too bad it comes after the Golden Globes.
What happend to Kerri Russell’s nomination for Waitress? there was so much buzz about her in that film.

Re: Keri Russell
I saw the movie and enjoyed her performance, but IMO, it wasn’t worthy of a nomination. It’s not to say that this role shouldn’t be a feather in Russell’s cap.
At least Adrienne Shelley was nominated for screenplay. Lord rest her soul.
Congratulations to all the nominees. It doesn’t matter who wins in the end, being nominated is already a win. Congratulations, again.

I really want to believe you but don’t think so. Congrats to Brad and Angie.
(Insert sarcasm tone) Nominations for Indie films, yeah right?
Nevertheless, I still support the (FIND) organization, but there’s nothing independent about the list of (aforementioned) nominees.
troll free day,here they come,just ignore
Why worry about tomorrow. Celebrate today.
Today Angelina got the nom for her acting and Brad’s production team got a nom for Best Picture. Congrats to all.
don’t agree at all with this noms, but i respect and of course they know more about his than me…but don’t think Sienna or even Angie will get noms in oscars!
JessO–Yeah she did mention this I think it was on Larry King or Charlie Rose. She mentioned that she didn’t know the budget of the movie but she knew it was elligeble for this award. I’ll post that interview for both parts. Here is part 1 of LK interview…

From the last thread…sorry to put it here, but I gotta answer my stalker…

I see that the DoucheBags girls are back, spreading their typical doucheyness on the thread.
++++++++++++++
Yep. You know how it is for working girls. Another day…another $2 ********. And they gotta give the pimp $1.99. What’s a poor working girl to do to make ends meet except stoop to trolling for pay…
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Its “ends meat”, stupid! Not “ends meet”. LMAOO dumbazz!
++++++++++++++++++
Dear Stalker,
Are you really this dumb or do you just play an idiot on the internet?
The phrase is, “To make ends mEEt.” In other words, there there is an object with a gap, a break or otherwise incomplete or disconnected. For instance a rope that’s been cut in two. You want to make the object whole or complete again, ergo YOU WANT THE ENDS TO MEET.
Why do you even bother posting here and trying to take on people of superior intellect. If you want to belittle people you think are dumber than you, then go to Female First, Dlisted, Perez Hilton or any of other hundreds of entertainment blogs where the people who post are as ignorant as you are.
Sorry for the interruption folks…you may now return to discussing this great news for Angie, Brad & Plan B.
No one knows what the Oscars or GG will bring. I read yesterday that Nicole Kidman was absolutely going to get the nom for best actress for these Spirit Awards. As you can tell the experts were wrong. So I am going to believe each and every day that Angelina can get a Oscar and GG nom until I am proven wrong.
Jess0— Here is arry King part to with Angie re AMH…

OK, BAMPZS Fans BBL….Congrats to Angie,Brad, Irrfan, Michael and the whole cast involved in making such a wonderful movie as AMH! I hope M. Pearl heard of the good news since in one interview she said she was reluctant to make in to a movie until she met Brad!
angie will indeed get the oscar nomination,she is in strong position,only trolls will come here and say ****,it was the same trolls that said she was not eligible for this one,am sick and tired of lunatics coming here to disturb the peace,today is a happy day
FROM PEREZ,GOTA LUV HIM(SILLY SOMETIMES)
Miz Angelina Jolie has previously been honored by her peers and awarded the prestigious Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her feisty role in the film Girl, Interrupted.
Now, the thespian and humanitarian seems likely to take home another Academy Award.
Jolie has just been nominated for an Independent Spirit Award for Best Actress, a good Oscar precursor.
Ange is being honored for her role in the Brad Pitt-produced A Mighty Heart. She played the wife of slain journalist Daniel Pearl in the biopic.
The movie also scored a nod for Best Film.
Congrats to both Angie and Bradley!
