Le nomination ai Film Independent Spirit Awards 2012

La Film Independent, organizzazione non-profit con scopi artistici che produce gli Spirit Awards e il Los Angeles Film Festival, ha annunciato le nomination agli Film Indipendent Spirit Awards 2012.

A ottenere riconoscimenti sono i migliori film indipendenti dell'anno, costati in media meno di 20 milioni, prevalentemente americani. 277 i titoli proposti quest'anno: il comitato che si occupa dele nomination ha determinato quali selezionare applicando queste linee guida: unicità della visione, soggetto originale e provocatorio, economia (in particolare nei compensi individuali e nei costi di produzione), e percentuale di finanziamento da parte di fonti indipendenti.

I vincitori verranno annunciati sabato 25 febbraio 2012 durante una cerimonia che, storicamente, precede quella ben più blasonata degli Oscar.
