These means not a lot in terms of Oscar. But it does help for any film to be singled out by any voting body.
This is wonderful news for Sean Penn’s “Into the Wild” and it’s star “Emile Hersh. Suprisingly “Margot at the Wedding” did well as did “Great World of Sound” which looks fun.
Ellen Page gets a nice shout out, as does Mira Nair’s “The Namesake” which I thought had been all but forgotten.
