The Spirit Awards, formerly known as the Independent Spirit Awards, honour films produced on comparatively small budgets of less than $20 million. The awards will be presented Feb. 24, the day before the Academy Awards. Nominees were chosen by members of the nonprofit cinema groups Film Independent and the Independent Film Project.
Congratulations, Robin.

SORRY,HATERS is a psychological thriller with political and social undertones set in today's New York. It's a story of anger, revenge and retribution so timely it could be too true for comfort. It begins when Ashade, a Muslim cab driver (Abdellatif Kechiche), picks up Phoebe (Robin Wright Penn) a well-heeled professional woman. Although Ashade and Phoebe have nothing in common, each holds troubling urges and motivations. When Phoebe takes an interest in exonerating Ashade's unjustly jailed brother, a series of events are set in motion resulting in the revelation of a devastating hidden truth. SORRY,HATERS is that rare film that dares to capture the anxiety of a city on edge. With powerful performances by Robin Wright Penn, Abdellatif Kechiche, Sandra Oh and Josh Hamilton it has the courage to ask the most forbidden questions of who we are, and suggest some surprising answers.

"Room 10", directed by Jennifer Aniston, premieres 17 October in USA
Jennifer Aniston is making her directorial debut with Room 10, a film she co-directed with one of her best friends, documentary producer and director Andrea Buchanan.
Room 10 is based on a short story written by Colleen Goldrick, a mother and nurse from New Jersey. Colleen wrote about a couple who changed her life forever.
Room 10 stars Hollywood Kris Kristofferson and Robin Wright Penn.

Robin Wright Penn plays Colleen in this movie. "I was approached first with … 'Hey, you want to do this short that Jennifer Aniston's directing?' And I said, 'Yeah, I do!' because I always loved her from afar," Robin says. "And then they told me that it was stories made by women for women and I just thought, what a great opportunity. This is the new millennium for women. Women are in film. They're here. There is a pulse. It's just we need to open the screen door."

Robin says she felt "girl power" on the set. "I loved working with Jennifer," Robin says. "She's very in tune and a very calm presence. There's such a genuine feeling on the set, just, you know, girls. There was a real sense of that community. And she being the leader, she was incredible."

ROOM 10: with Robin Wright Penn and Jennifer Aniston
Glamour is trying to make its mark in the movie business.
In October, the magazine will revive its “Reel Moments” series of short films based on true stories from readers, this time with three films directed by Hollywood celebrities like Jennifer Aniston and Bryce Dallas Howard.
The films are written, directed and acted almost entirely by women, produced by a woman from Moxie Pictures in Los Angeles, and will partially benefit FilmAid International, a non-profit group that introduces women in underdeveloped countries to film.
The magazine has recruited Hollywood actresses to donate their time to the films, including Robin Wright Penn and Jamie-Lynn Sigler.

Robin Wright Penn stars in “Room 10” the film directed by Aniston.
For Ms. Aniston, who is making her directorial debut, the film was a chance to step behind the camera and participate in a project with more substance than the standard Hollywood romantic comedy.
Her film, “Room 10,” co-directed by Andrea Buchanan, is the tale of a nurse whose personal problems are illuminated when she tends to a dying patient. The reader’s story, Ms. Aniston said, reminded her of a conversation she had with a therapist years earlier.
The three films are currently in production and will have their premiere in Los Angeles on Oct. 16, followed by a 10-city screening tour. They will also be available on Glamour’s Website.

Robin Wright Penn/ "Nine Lives" nominated for CHLOTRUDIS AWARDS
Nominations for the 12th annual CHLOTRUDIS AWARDS were voted upon by the society’s membership on earlier this month.

The 2005 edition will be held Sunday March 19th at the historic Brattle Theatre, and the public is invited to join Chlotrudis members, nominees and special guests in the celebration.


BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS
Catherine Keener - Capote
Corinna Harfouch - Downfall
Jung-ah Yum - A Tale of Two Sisters
Robin Wright Penn - Nine Lives
Sandra Oh - Wilby Wonderful
Zhang Ziyi - 2046

This is what they say about Robin Wright Penn:
"Robin Wright Penn for the role of Diana in Nine Lives - She’s only onscreen for less than fifteen minutes, but Robin Wright Penn leaves an indelible impression in Rodrigo Garcia’s film, which consists of nine sections—each one shot in a single take and named after its primary female character.
In the second vignette, she plays Diana, a pregnant woman who, while grocery shopping, bumps into Damian (Jason Isaacs), an old flame she hasn’t spoken to in years.
She is completely caught off guard and noticeably shaken by his reappearance.
Thanks to Wright Penn’s intense, tour-de-force performance, you get a vivid sense of the complex, messy flood of conflicting emotions this chance encounter causes Diana, and she leaves the audience shaken as well."

Empire Falls wins 2 Golden Globe: Paul Newman and Best Mini-Series
The 63rd annual Golden Globes went country and western Monday, with "Brokeback Mountain" and "Walk the Line" divvying up the bulk of the top movie prizes.

The "Brokeback" awards included director (Ang Lee), screenplay (Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana) and best original song for the ballad "A Love That Will Never Grow Old" by Gustavo Santaolall and Bernie Taupin.

"Walk the Line," about country legend Johnny Cash and his romance with June Carter, won best musical or comedy motion picture as well as acting prizes for stars Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon.

Felicity Huffman was bypassed in the TV actress category but claimed best actress in a dramatic motion picture for "Transamerica," in which she plays a man preparing to undergo gender-changing surgery.
The best actor in a drama honor went to Philip Seymour Hoffman as the title author in "Capote."

George Clooney was chosen supporting actor in a motion picture for "Syriana," in which he plays a dedicated CIA agent who questions his country's role in the Middle East amid dark and deceitful oil business dealings.

Rachel Weisz was named best supporting actress in a motion picture for "The Constant Gardener," as a humanitarian aid worker whose husband is drawn into her murder investigation.

On the TV side, ABC's "Desperate Housewives" won the Golden Globe for best television musical or comedy series, its second consecutive win.

But in the battle of suburban hausfraus on the brink, Mary-Louise Parker emerged to take the Globe for best actress in a musical or comedy TV series for Showtime newcomer "Weeds," leaving the four nominated "Desperate Housewives" Marcia Cross, Teri Hatcher, Eva Longoria and Emmy winner Huffman.

ABC's "Lost" picked up the best dramatic TV series honor in its second season.

Hugh Laurie nabbed the best actor in a drama series prize as the abrasive physician in Fox's "House."

The season's top-rated new drama, ABC's "Commander in Chief," scored the best actress award for fictional president Geena Davis.

The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which previously saluted Ricky Gervais in the BBC version of "The Office," this year gave Steve Carell the award for best actor in a musical or comedy TV series for the NBC's Americanized version of the show.

"Empire Falls" was selected best miniseries or TV movie, and its co-star Paul Newman was chosen best supporting TV actor.

S. Epatha Merkerson claimed best actress in a miniseries or TV movie for "Lackawanna Blues," having already picked up an Emmy for the role. She's best known as the lieutenant in "Law & Order."

Elvis was in the room as Jonathan Rhys-Meyers collected the award for best actor in a miniseries or television movie as the title character in "Elvis."

A flustered Sandra Oh accepted the TV supporting actress for ABC's "Grey's Anatomy."

Film veteran Anthony Hopkins was celebrated with the Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement.
