Very pleased with the Indie Spirit Award Nominations this year but the exclusion of BROTHERS McMULLEN and SHE’S GOTTA HAVE IT shocked me.

The Press
A few good movies, a few I haven’t seen yet, many ranging from mediocre to terrible. Quality is independent of so-called independence.

A great set of Indie Spirit nominations. Some sad omissions but what’s included is pretty unimpeachable. http://t.co/lc11cHKcjW

With @filmindependent Spirit Awards nod this AM, @citizenfour pulls rare sweep of major doc awards: nom’d for Best Doc at Gothams, IDA, CEH.

The Public
These are the best Indie Spirit noms in years. Glad Harvey Weinstein couldn’t corrupt them this year.
— Bad Blood (@coldmess) November 25, 2014
I’m not sure what my favorite Indie Spirit nom is. Surely The Guest for “Editing” and Mommy for “Foreign Language Film” are up there

Others focused on snubs:
Stunned that The Skeleton Twins got zero nominations, but very happy for @JSim07 for his two nods for #DearWhitePeople!

I guess what I’m saying is, it’d be neat if the Spirits were an alternative to the Oscars, rather than yet another predictor of them
— Jason Bailey (@jasondashbailey) November 25, 2014
Kinda bummed that #heavenknowswhat didn’t get nom’d for an Independent Spirit award. Hello! it’s the most unique film out there right now.
— Susan Miller (@jimbrayfan) November 25, 2014
But mostly, people were happy.
And KUMIKO! And STRAY DOG! And BLUE RUIN! And LOVE IS STRANGE! And APPROPRIATE BEHAVIOR! You did good, Indie Spirits. You did real good.
