You love to go out. We love to go out. You love to eat. We love to eat. You love to drink. Well, you get the idea. So when you're itching for the lastest Chicago nightlife has to offer, check out The Extrovert for up-to-the minute details on the scene.
No love for "Transformers"?
Nominations were announced today for this year's Independent Spirit Awards, the annual celebration of Hollywood's best non-mainstream and semi-low budget to really low budget movies. ("Spider-Man 3" fans, you'll have to look elsewhere for representation.) The nominees are extremely well-chosen, with many that we support and few that we don't.
Read our take on some of the major categories, then check out the full list and let us know what you think. Awards season is officially upon us!
Best Feature
Haven't seen "Paranoid Park," but all of the other nominees ("Juno," "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly," "I'm Not There," "A Mighty Heart") are worth celebrating, with our vote going to "The Diving Bell."
Best First Feature
Kudos to the nomination for "The Lookout," but did anyone else think "Rocket Science" was totally self-conscious and annoying?
Best Female Lead
We're happy to see Sienna Miller ("Interview") and Parker Posey ("Broken English") recognized, but this one looks like Ellen Page ("Juno") beating out Angelina Jolie ("A Mighty Heart") in a tight one. Fine by us.
Best Male Lead
We're happy to see Don Cheadle in there for his funky turn in "Talk to Me," but our vote goes to Frank Langella, so intelligent, dignified and mournful in "Starting Out in the Evening."
Best Supporting Female
Don't even bother with the ceremony. Just give it to Cate Blanchett ("I'm Not There")!
Best Supporting Male
We're rooting for Chiwetel Ejiofor ("Talk to Me"). Not sure how Marcus Carl Franklin snuck in there for "I'm Not There."
