i do not think they were eligible to compete for best feature due to their premiere dates. not so for the honorary awards. not sure why Under the Skin or Grand Budapest Hotel were snubbed, though, as both were vastly superior to Boyhood and Selma.

I\’m confused, were Foxcatcher & Inherent Vice snubbed or do their particular awards somehow exempt them from the other categories.

Sad about watching Scarlett Johansson\’s mesmerizing work in Under the skin snubbed (and the film being completely shut out) but so damn happy about watching the greatest actress of all time, the one and only Marion Cotillard being nominated for an Independent Spirit Award for her insuperable performance as Ewa Cyluska in The Immigrant! I\’m really filled me with joy and excitement about that. She should sweep all the awards with her immensely powerful and hauntingly beautiful work in Gray’s film. Any list of Best Actress contenders would look empty without the incomparable Marion Cotillard of either The Immigrant or Two Days, One Night in the lead. Both performances should be considered among the 10 greatest performances ever put on film. She gave the absolute best (Two Days, One Night) and the absolute second best female performance (The Immigrant) at the same year. I’ll be more than thrilled to watch her win a second Oscar for either. I\’m also extremely excited (not to sound mean) about watching Reese Witherspoon being snubbed for Wild. Having seen the film in a screening, I must say that her work there, whille really good, is far from Oscar-worthy. Watching her being snubbed in favor of sublime work (and truly Oscar-worthy work) by actresses as talented as Tilda Swinton for her exceptional performance in Jarmusch\’s Only Lovers Left Alive (I\’m sure obviously there\’s not a chance she\’s going to be acknowledged for her tremendous turn from the Oscars though), I\’m over the moon. Bringing groundbreaking talents for towering work in front and snubbing Oscar vehicle turns by limited actors always feels great!

Tommy, I was thinking the exact same thing. I was also wondering if Grand Budapest Hotel is eligible and was not nominated, or if it doesn\’t qualify under the "Indie Spirit" guidelines.

Too bad there\’s not more of Under The Skin on the list of nominees.
