Shouts and Murmurs: Independent films get recognition, but maybe not mainstream acceptance
Feb. 27, 2008This past weekend was not only the weekend of the Academy Awards but it was also the weekend of the Independent Spirit Awards, a ceremony designed to celebrate the achievements of independent filmmaking. This year, however, three of the five films nominated for the Best Picture Spirit Award, Juno, I'm Not There and The Diving Bell and the Butterfly were also nominated for major Academy Awards with the winner, Juno, also being nominated for the Best Picture Oscar.
