Nominations for the Independent Spirit Awards have gone live. And the race is on between the likes of Noah Baumbach’s family dysfunction drama The Squid & The Whale, Ang Lee’s cowboy romance Brokeback Mountain and Philip Seymour Hoffman’s scene-stealing performance in Capote.
Squid picked up six nominations, including a lead Actor nod for Jeff Daniels and Actress for Laura Linney. It’ll compete for Best Picture against Brokeback Mountain, Capote, George Clooney’s Good Night, And Good Luck and Tommy Lee Jones’ The Three Burials Of Melquiades Estrada.
