Indies Ins and Outs

The Independent Spirit film nominations just out--these are the Indie version of the Oscars and carry a lot of weight.  A lot of no-brainers and a lot of surprises--just read,  I won't ruin for you.  Surprised Short Term-12 did not get more but it did okay.   12 Years a Slave will clean-up both here and with Oscars.   Not sure about doc list.  Definition of "indie" is budget under $21 million--my how times havd changed.
