The end of the year always brings a glut of “best of” lists and awards show news. This past week nominees were announced for the Spirit Awards and the Grammys among others. In Europe, they’ve already started holding awards ceremonies, like the British Independent Film Awards. Forgive us if we're already tired of hearing about them.The end of the year always brings a glut of “best of” lists and awards... more

Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push' by Sapphire won Best Feature and a total of 5 awards tonight at the 25th Film Independent Spirit Awards. (FYI, The Hurt Locker can't be nominated because it was shown at film festivals in 2008 before it found a distributor.) Comedian Eddie Izzard served as Master of Ceremonies at the late-night show at LA Live’s event deck in downtown Los Angeles.

"What if you had a chance to cast a ballot for an awards show? How would you treat your duties? Have you ever wondered how the voting process for an awards show is run? Today’s the day that curtain is unveiled. This year, I voted for the Independent Spirit Awards, and I’m telling you all about it.
Ever since that aforementioned Shakespeare in Love triumph over Saving Private Ryan on March 21, 1999, the media has been clamoring for the Academy to release their voting results, or at the very least to publish the difference between first and second place. Even College Football (the game which refuses to change) decided to share the results of their weekly Coaches poll. “Entertainment Weekly” did a piece just a few weeks ago about an Oscar re-vote. They mailed re-vote ballots to voters, going through the five major categories (Picture, Actor, Actress, Supporting Actor and Supporting Actress) over five different years and shared the results. Although I don’t have insight into the process of the Oscars, I’ll take you on the Independent Spirit Awards journey from nominations, through screenings, to voting and finally, reveal my ballot for you to see.
As a member of a group titled Film Independent, which hosts a few independent film screenings each month and also grants its members access to a plethora of rental equipment to aid them in the process of making their own films, they also happen to host the Independent Spirit Awards. Members get to cast their vote and decide the winners. Finally, a chance to have my voice heard and be a part of the process I’ve revered for so long.""What if you had a chance to cast a ballot for an awards show? How would you... more
