At quick glance it's odd that Waiting for Superman was denied entry for the Documentary category. It recently won the Audience Award at the just completed Gotham Awards, and looked to be a mainstay leading up to the Oscars. Michelle Williams garnered a nomination for Blue Valentine, yet her costar Ryan Gosling was left off. It was a strong year for most leading acting groupings, so a few admirable performances were bound to be left off.
The 2011 Independent Spirit Awards will be broadcast on Saturday, February 26, 2011 in Santa Monica, California. Comedian Joel McHale (TV's Community) will host.
See all the nominees after the break.
