2009 Film Independent's Spirit Awards Nominations

film independent spirit awardsThe Film Independent's Spirit Awards are very close to my heart, as they're essentially the Oscars for indies, and often foretell some of those awards as well. Last year many of the films which were nominated for (and eventually won) Spirit Awards went on to dominate many Academy Awards categories.

The 2009 Film Independent's Spirit Awards ceremony will take place in a tent on the beach in Santa Monica and will air uncut, uncensored, and commercial-free on IFC (Independent Film Channel) at 5 PM Eastern and Pacific Time on Saturday, February 21, 2009. An edited re-broadcast will air later that night on AMC.

Film Independent is an open enrollment and non-profit membership organization that champions independent film and supports a community of artists who embody diversity, innovation, and uniqueness of vision. Film Independent helps filmmakers make their movies, builds the audience for their projects, and works to diversify the film industry. Anyone passionate about film can become a member, whether you are a filmmaker, film industry leader, or a film lover.
