COMMENTS: Interesting nominees (as the usual from the Independent Spirit Awards), but some snubs I consider completely atrocious: Greta Gerwig for Frances Ha (Female Lead); James Franco for Spring Breakers (Supporting Male); Scarlett Johansson for Don Jon (Female Lead/Supporting Female); Ryan Coogler for his directing work in Fruitvale Station; Fruitvale Station, the movie that's not between the Best Feature nominees; and the cinematography work of Ain't Them Bodies Saints (beautifu!). Glad to see Julie Delpy nominated for her work in Before Midnight and I can say the same about Melonie Diaz for Fruitvale Station, but I have to give the spotlight to the Best Lead Male category where it seems all the nominees are Oscar contenders. I won't dare to predict the winners this soon, but it seems obvious 12 Years a Slave has the bigger chances since it is the movie who scored most nominations and Blue Is The Warmest Color has nice chances, while the battle for Best First Feature will be between Fruitvale Station (my personal favorite) and Blue Caprice, with Wadjda as a contender for a surprise winner.
