Independent Spirit

Word today that the Independent Spirit Awards have nominated Gregg Araki for Best Director for MSkin. Kick ass. Hopefully this will boost awareness of the film. I was hoping for Joe or Brady or someone else in the cast to get nominations, too, but it looks like the competition was tough.

More news on all the other nominations can be found in this Hollywood Reporter article.

gordon-levitt should get a best actor nod from someone - his vulnerability as he's getting undressed in that one scene said more to me than a million autistic dustin hoffman characters.

I read that on some other website and it made me happy that Gregg was being appreciated for his amazing job on Mysterious Skin. I really hope he wins.
