Spirits: How indie is it?
In the Sunday Times, one more collection of anecdotal not-definition: "While the Spirit awards have grown into a Hollywood institution, as recently as a decade ago they occupied an obscure corner of the entertainment industry, as did the independent film sector as a whole. "It was lunchtime" and everyone was getting drunk, Bingham Ray, the former president of the indie powerhouse October Films, recalled of the early gatherings. The producer Christine Vachon (Far From Heaven), a Spirits regular since 1990, remembered a chummy get-together where, she said, "everybody drank too much, and there was no press there, so nobody watched what they said."
