The last couple of weeks have been all Bigelow all the time, but since The Hurt Locker and the blue people weren’t up for any awards at this year’s Indie Spirits, it allowed other films to shine.
I was so psyched to see Gabby Sidibe (and Precious) win since she her performance was heartbreakingly beautiful.
I was also very excited to see Lone Scherfig get up there for her film An Education. Other notable female winners include Lynn Shelton, writer/director/producer of Humpday who got the John Cassavetes Award (for a feature made for under $500,000); and producer Karen Chien received the Piaget Producers Award. Her new film Exploding Girl starring Zoe Kazan opens Friday.
