The Razzies and the Independent Spirit Awards

Not much to report here, but Juno cleaned up at the Independent Spirit Awards and Lindsay Lohan’s trashterpiece I Know Who Killed Me cleaned up at The Razzies.

The fourth acting “dis-honor” announced at Saturday’s Golden Raspberry Awards ? which honors the worst from Hollywood ? went to Lindsay Lohan, who actually was voted two worst-actress trophies for the thriller I Know Who Killed Me, the worst-picture winner in which she played dual roles.

I Know Who Killed Me set a new Razzies record with eight awards, including worst screen couple for Lohan in her double role.

Which also gives us one more moment to say Juno was written by ex-stripper Diablo Cody.? This, however, I loved from the Independent Spirit Awards.

After being greeted on the red carpet with a glass of Champagne, Ledger’s friend Sienna Miller, who is playing an evil baroness in G.I. Joe, was brought to tears just at the mention of Ledger’s name. “I just can’t without bursting into tears. Sorry,” she said.

Not that I don’t doubt her sincerity, but for whatever reason I keep picturing a Chris Guest mockumentary, where Sienna Miller never met Heath Ledger, she just thinks crying would be a good career move for her.

2008 Independent Spirit Awards

2008-indy-spirit.jpg

The nominees for this year’s Independent Spirit Awards have been anounced, which means we’re kicking off the movie awards season now.? Makes our head’s spin just trying to keep up with all the awards given out.? The award elves are probably not very happy right now.

This year Todd Hayne’s Dylan biopic, I’m Not There, was showered with the love, as was ex-stripper turned writer Diablo Cody’s (I just love writing that line for some reason) flick Juno.? Actually, Juno was directed by Jason Reitman and written by Cody, but saying Ivan Reitman’s son isn’t nearly as fun for us.

Many of these movies are already on DVD, so get out there and get watchin’!? If they aren’t on DVD, then there’s a good chance some of these flicks will be hitting the theaters soon.? Even if it is just your local art house.

The awards show will be on IFC, Sat., February 23.? List of nominations after the jump.? Good year for indie’s even if indie stalwart Ed Burns doesn’t think so. MORE »
