Tuesday, the nominees for the 2013 Independent Spirit Awards were revealed. David O. Russell’s Silver Linings Playbook is just one of two films to pull the most nominations.
The Independent Spirit Awards have announced their nominees for next year’s ceremony. Leading the charge is David O. Russell and Wes Anderson‘s 2012 films Silver Linings Playbook and Moonrise Kingdom. Both movies scored five nominations including Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Feature.
They’ll have stiff competition from critical darlings like Beasts of the Southern Wild, Seven Psychopaths, Bernie and even Magic Mike. For the actors, Matthew McConaughey is pulling double duty as he’s earned two nominations for Mike and Killer Joe. He’ll be one to beat.
