On the day when the rich and famous are hobnobbing at the Academy Awards, here’s a tip of the hat to the Independent Spirit Awards, who continue to honour films that are either overlooked by the Oscars, or which get nominated but never win.
This year, my personal favourite film of 2004, Sideways, won all six of the awards it was nominated for. I bet this means it will be ignored by tonight’s Oscars. I’m still crossing my fingers!
