Featured Blu-ray and DVD Review: Frozen II

2014 - Awards Season: Independent Spirit Awards - Nominations

Birdman poster

The Independent Spirit Awards nominations were announced last week and I'm getting to them a little late, because I needed to organize the whole Awards Season stories.

Not ideal, but it is better to fix the mistake now than carry on making it. Secondly, the headlines are just going to be the name of the Awards and either nominations or winners. This will make it easier for readers to find later on. As for the Independent Spirit Awards nominations, Birdman led the way with 6 nods, while Boyhood, Nightcrawler, and Selma were right behind with 5 each.

Another film, To Be Takei, is also earning great reviews and could do better than most documentaries. More...
