The Oscars are tomorrow night, but tonight are the Oscars of Independent film, the Independent Spirit Awards... I'm so excited. Not only because there's a bevy of really brilliant work nominated (Milk, Vicky, Cristina, Barcelona, The Wackness, Rachel Getting Married, Frozen River, The Wrestler, etc.), but because this year, I have some personal investment in a nominee. My cousin Nina is a producer based in Mississippi and her movie Ballast is up for Best Feature, Best Director, Best First Screenplay, Best Female Lead, Best Supporting Male, and Best Cinematography. Yep, that's 6 Bests.
I'll be rooting for her here in NYC, wishing I was in LA to celebrate with her when the Ballast team comes home with a handful of awards!
