...But the Mummer's came up empty-handed.
We've been telling you how Philly was all up in the Independent Spirit Awards, with local heroes representin' in a litany of categories. The results are in: Precious, directed by West Philly's Lee Daniels swept the awards with five wins (including a Best Director statuette for Daniels), and Margate's Scott Neustadter took home a Best Screenplay for (500) Days of Summer.
Unfortunately, the most Philly-fied movie of a all, Tom Quin's familial Mummers drama New Year Parade, lost out to Lynn Shelton's considerably more-high profile Humpday in the John Cassavetes award for movies made for less than $500,000.
Daniels faces steeper competition at tonight's Oscars, where prognosticators have all but given the trophy to either The Hurt Locker's Kathryn Bigelow (when Daniels won, he said "Kathryn Bigelow's not here tonight," assuring his win; her picture was up for consideration last year) or Avatar's James Cameron. The Oscars air tonight on ABC, at 8 p.m. EST, although the hardcore among us already have our couch positions at the ready. Got any plans? How about Traverse Arts red carpet extravaganza or the Institute's PJ party?
See the rest of the Indie Spirit winners after the jump.
