..that the results of the Independent Spirit Awards herald anything for tomorrow night's Oscars, but I think it's worth noting that there was obviously a response among the voters to the brashness and energy of Best Feature winner Juno. Facing a lineup of name directors and A-list stars (Haynes, Schnabel, Jolie), Juno took no prisoners and won the evening's top prize as well as awards for Ellen Page and writer Diablo Cody.
Will Oscar voters unable to distinguish between No Country for Old Men and There Will Be Blood throw up their hands and vote for the one nominee with jokes? My guess is no, because of the political mini-storm Juno created and because I think voters' respect for The Coen Brothers, Javier Bardem, and Daniel Day-Lewis will siphon enough votes to the dramas and prevent an upset. I'm not comparing it to Juno, but which way will the voters who thought Crash was an incisive film about racism break?
