Well. the 2010 Spirit Awards nominees have been announced, and i'm NOT a happy camper...and from a quick buzz around the net, neither is anyone else...
The awards are dominated by the "indie" releases by the major studios - Sony Classics, Fox Searchlight, and their brethern.
What's missing COMPLETELY - and I'm EXTREMELY PISSED OFF about: Animal Kingdom, A Film Unfinished, and It's Kind Of A Funny Story...what a crock... three of the BEST FILMS of the year, and they completely get blown off...
I will rant A LOT about this on this weekend's edition of Subject:CINEMA...and I'm happy for The Kids Are All Right, which deserves the noms...but 127 Hours and Black Swan, I'm not so sure, since they both had rather wide releases...
Anyway, here's the official Press Release...
@@@
LOS ANGELES (November 30, 2010) – Film Independent, the non-profit arts organization that produces the Spirit Awards and the Los Angeles Film Festival, announced nominations this morning for the 2011 Film Independent Spirit Awards. Eva Mendes and Jeremy Renner served as presenters and 2011 Spirit Awards host Joel McHale was also on hand. Nominees for Best Feature include 127 Hours, Black Swan, Greenberg, The Kids Are All Right and Winter’s Bone.
Please Give was selected for the Robert Altman Award, which is given to one film’s director, casting director and ensemble cast.
“The artistic side of independent film is stronger than ever, and it’s especially impressive to see the developed craft of extraordinary independent filmmakers who have only gotten better over the years. Past nominees such as Darren Aronofsky, Noah Baumbach, Danny Boyle, Lisa Cholodenko, Debra Granik, Nicole Holofcener and John Cameron Mitchell continue to create original and compelling films that move and amaze us.” said Film Independent Executive Director Dawn Hudson.
Selected from 220 submissions, this year’s winners will be announced at the Film Independent Spirit Awards on Saturday, February 26, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. on the beach in Santa Monica. The 26th annual awards show will air exclusively that night on IFC at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT. Winners of the Filmmaker Grants will be highlighted during the Spirit Awards and announced at the 2011 Spirit Awards Nominee Brunch celebration on Saturday, January 15th at BOA Steakhouse in West Hollywood.
On Wednesday, February 23, a selection of Spirit Award nominees will discuss their films and their craft at Film Independent’s Directors Close-Up, a 5-week series that features conversations with directors and their collaborators.
The Jameson FIND Your Audience Award, a new filmmaker grant, was established this year to help make it possible for one Spirit Award-nominated film to find a broader audience. Spirit Award-nominated films in need of expanding their marketing and distribution efforts will be considered. The award includes a $50,000 marketing and distribution grant, funded by Jameson Irish Whiskey. The grant was designed to meet independent filmmakers’ biggest challenge today: How to get their films out into the marketplace. A blue-ribbon committee will determine the winner.

Sooooo...why were we late this week? Well, on Sunday morning, TC had a sudden sharp pain in his left temple, and then he started to lose the feeling on the left side of his body. Kim freaked out insisted he go to the ER and have it checked out. When he got to the ER, he got out of his mother-in-law's car, and stepped in a pothole, and promptly FELL HARD on his right side against the curb; now he was worse off on his right side, and still was feeling very limp on his left side. The doctors at Mass Gen took a look at him, did a CT Scan to be safe about his issue, also x-rayed him on his shoulder, hip, and pelvis where he fell. To make a long story short, TC did NOT have a stroke or anything as he and Kim were both worried - the numbness is being caused by a pinched nerve on the left side of his neck. And he didn't break anything when he fell, although he DID deeply bruise his shin and his rotator cuff on his right shoulder, and pulled the muscle on the right shoulder as well. So TC spent a long couple of days on potent painkilers, on Valium (for the pinched nerve) and on anti-migraine medicine. He is still coming down from it, and doesn't look forward to taking the Valium whenever he gets neck pain but knows he'll have to if he wants to have some relief from the nerve, which is being pinched by a tight neck muscle. So if TC seems spacey from time to time on the shows, now you'll know why...and thanks to everyone for their patience...:-)

I guess this is why they call it "reality TV"...and reality SUCKS...
Our loyal PNR Readers know that I'm a disaster junkie. And i've talked on Subject:CINEMA about my love for the Discovery Channel series "Storm Chasers".
Last night's episode opened with a stunning dedication - "Tonight's show is dedicated to the memory of Matt Hughes, 1979-2010. His family asked that his last chase be included in tonight's episode." I was shocked to get this bit of news, but I knew SOMETHING had happened, since next weeks' episode talks about dealing with the death of a team member in Comcast's on-screent TV Guide.
Matt joined the show last season as one of IMAX filmmaker Sean Casey's meterologists, and this season he moved into the lead chase vehicle, the TIV, or "Tornado Intercept Vehicle". Much of this season has been about the back and forth about Sean trusting Matt enough to get him to the tornado so he could film the impact on the TIV. IN last nights' episode, Sean finally relinquished and let Matt do what he was being paid for. And he did his job perfectly, getting Sean inside a tornado with windspeeds of about 120 MPH.
Because of the way the title card was done at the beginning of the episode, I was sure Matt must have been killed as a result of something going horribly wrong during the chase. I was relieved to find out that wasn't true - that he had been killed in a "fatal accident" at home a week after the chase had been filmed.
Because I am a longtime fan of the show, I feel like these people are part of an extended family, and I was distressed to know that Matt had died over 5 months ago, and I didn't know it. I also felt angry and happy at the same time - watch Season 4 Episode 4, "Dedication", and you'll understand why - angry that he died so young, happy that he got to experience what he was out there for, in the perfect way - his excitement and elation of doing his job well was so evident on his face that it made you extremely happy.
I knew I was going to write something today about this, and how I will miss Matt's somewhat haughty oncamera commentary - he was SURE he was right about his abilities, and in the end, he WAS - and how much different the show will feel without him. I will never be able to listen to that funky version of "Over The Rainbow" (which I know by Jason Castro - I think the original, which they used last night - is by John Mayer) without thinking of Matt and the tribute they did to him at the end of the show.
And now...thanks to my research this morning on HOW Matt died...I also know how truly sad his death really is...because in doing my research this morning, I found out that it was NOT an accident - as reported by the Wichita Eagle newspaper and local TV station KAKE, Matt, who had battled depression for much of his 30 years on the planet, apparenly took his own life.
I will never understand why it happened - I didn't personally know the man. But I know that I will REALLY miss him now. I feel for his family, for his chase family, and for the millions of fans like myself who got to know him through the series.
Matt is survived by his wife Kendra, and two young sons, Hunter and Collin. Discovery Channel has established a memorial fund in Matt's name for his family. If you can find it in your heart, please make a small donation.

Matt lived for doing one of the most dangerous jobs on the planet in the hopes of finding ways to make living in tornado prone areas safer.
Godspeed, Matt...you will be missed...and while you're up there, it's still your job to watch over your old friends and help keep them all safe...just as you did when you were in the TIV...may you find peace always...
