Film Independent Spirit Awards 2012, tutte le nomination

Verranno consegnati a Los Angeles il 25 febbraio 2012, tradizionalmente un giorno prima degli Academy Awards, i premi del cinema indipendente: i Film Independent Spirit Awards.

Eppure l’organizzazione no-profit della Film Independent ha già annunciato qualche ora fa la lista completa delle candidature per i prossimi Awards. Su 277 pellicole proposte, tutte rigorosamente con budget in media inferiore ai 20 milioni di dollari, spiccano il francese The Artist (vincitore ieri di ben due New York Film Critics Awards), The Descendants di Alexander Payne, Drive di Nicolas Winding Refn e Beginners di Mike Mills. Da notare l’assenza di George Clooney nella rosa per il Miglior Attore, e la presenza della commedia drammatica 50/50 con Joseph Gordon Levitt (però non nominato.)
