I see a film that has 4 Academy Award nominations, but probably won't win any of them.  That's ok though, because just getting recognized is amazing in itself.  "Winter's Bone" is an independent film that cost about $2 million to produce.  This film was not a favorite of mine, probably because it moved so slow and was very depressing.  I agree with the nominations though, except for Best Picture.  I think it's very exciting for small filmmakers to know that their efforts can and do catch the eye of the industry.  It just gives hope that you can compete on an equal playing field with the big movie makers.
