In the independent film world: Nominations for the Independent Spirit Awards heavily favor Little Miss Sunshine, which competes for Best Feature with American Gun, The Dead Girl, Half Nelson, and Pan's Labrynth. Robert Altman, who died last week, gets a Best Director nod for his last film, A Prairie Home Companion. See the full list of nominations here.
