    1. I am estatic that Drive has been nominated for four spirit awards. Its exciting to see it get recognized more than the descendants who has more buzz going for it at this point. Though it is dissapointing it didnt capture a screenplay nod. It should have. Its the best film on the list. It should win all for noms. And it also should have captured a cinematography nod. The photography was astounding. But I suppose four will have to do.

      • God I loved Drive too. That being said, it isn’t exactly recognized more than Descendants here. Each have four noms along with Take Shelter and Beginners. The Artist has five, but it’s The Artist so that’s not unexpected. I’m actually really pumped to see Take Shelter get some attention since it doesn’t have the youth market and fans that something like Drive has to really get noticed.

    4. No Clooney is a bit odd. Good though, because he doesn’t need it and it gives the others a bit of a boost.

    5. I’m disappointed Paul Giamatti didn’t get a nod for Win Win. It’s such a wonderful performance. He has to be one of the most underrated actors vis a vis awards working today. He should have been nominated and won the Oscar for Sideways.

    6. I’m happy to see Corey Stoll and the nods for Drive, but I’m sad to see Clooney snubbed.
