The European Film Awards were announced yesterday. Among the many winners -and some surprising results there - Pedro Almodovar's Volver was all over the place with three awards: Best Director, Best Actress for Penelope Cruz and the People's Choice Award. I personally thought that Volver was a mess and Penelope Cruz's performance was more impersonation than acting, but there you go, it seems like people really want to keep Pedro on his 'European auteur' pedestal even with lazy, wishy-washy offerings like Volver.

2007 Independent Spirit Awards
The 2007 Independent Spirit Awards nominees have been announced. David Lynch and Laura Dern are listed for a Special Distinction Award, the late Robert Altman for Best Director and Michael Arndt for Best First Screenplay Award, an undeserving entry in my opinion.
