It’s always interesting to see how this list shakes out.
BALLAST, 6 nominations - picked up by IFC Films and eventually self-distributed. Imagine my colleagues there are kicking themselves today, despite having several other films on the list.
FROZEN RIVER, 7 nominations - was initially released as a short, which garnered funding for the feature film. Won the Grand Jury Prize at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival.
THE ORDER OF MYTHS, 2 nominations - a really terrific documentary that was shamefully overlooked by the Oscar nominating committee this year.
MILK, 5 nominations - a beautifully directed and acted film. I’m glad to see James Franco nominated for his role, and Sean Penn is a shoo-in for Best Actor (here at the Academy Awards). That is, if he isn’t beaten by…
THE WRESTLER, 3 nominations - I got teary-eyed just watching the trailer Sunday night. I’ve been a fan of Darren Aronofsky’s since seeing REQUIEM FOR A DREAM; this may very well be the film that takes him from respected indie director to make-what-you-want auteur.
I’m also surprised that neigher Gus Van Sant nor Darren Aronofsky were nominated in the Best Director category. Sometimes there just aren’t enough slots, I suppose.
