It’s Oscar night and we will be live blogging the show. Before that, let’s take a last look at the nominations with a few annotations.

Bold films are those films I think will win. Meanwhile, those that are Underlined are those I want to win.

2016 - Awards Season: Independent Spirit Awards - Nominations
November 23rd, 2016
The Independent Spirit Awards nominations were announced last night and thus the 2016 Awards Season begins. There were a few surprises and some snubs to discuss, but for the most part, there’s not a lot nominations that broke the established narrative.

This means films that earn nominations here have a much better chance of doing well going forward and Moonlight looks like it could rise up as a result.
