I hoped he'd win the Indie Award especially, as Precious is the epitome (imo) of Independent Spirit. Well, and I have a feeling another of the director nominees is favored for the Oscar. ;)
For anyone who doesn't watch the Indie spirit Awards yearly (like bliss does)...the highlights:
His acceptance speech was beautiful and moving. He shared a silent moment w/Mo'nique. Where he merely said her name. The camera cut to her as she sat at their table, eyes brimming over w/tears--nodding, smilling and beaming at him. Camera cut back to him on stage--holding his award high, nodding back at her--eyes brimming w/tears.
The moment between them silently speaking to each other--her at the table, he from the stage lasted what felt like at least two minutes. Incredibly sweet, touching moment. I love the Indies, as the allow for moments like this and don't rush the winners or play them off stage w/musical interruptions.
He thanked his partner saying, "....You are my life!" :loveya:
Hope this film allows Daniels to direct more features in the industry. He's a major talent. Congratulations again, Mr. Daniels! :hi:
