Anne Hathaway’s family drama “Rachel Getting Married,” the border-smuggling tale “Frozen River” and the Deep South saga “Ballast” lead the nominees for the Spirit Awards with six nominations each, including best picture.
Other best-picture nominees announced Tuesday: Michelle Williams’ down-on-her-luck drama, “Wendy and Lucy,” and Mickey Rourke’s broken-down athlete tale “The Wrestler.”
Hathaway and Williams have lead-actress nominations, along with Melissa Leo for “Frozen River,” Summer Bishil for “Towelhead” and Tarra Riggs for “Ballast.”
Rourke has a best-actor nomination, along with Javier Bardem for “Vicky Cristina Barcelona,” Richard Jenkins for “The Visitor,” Sean Penn for “Milk” and Jeremy Renner for “The Hurt Locker.”
The awards honor independent film.
