'12 Years a Slave,' 'Nebraska' Dominate Spirit Nominations

Steve McQueen's 12 Years a Slave and Alexander Payne's Nebraska dominated the Film Independent Spirit Award nominations, announced this morning. Slave scored seven noms, including best feature and director and best male lead for Chiwetel Ejiofor, who plays a free man, kidnapped and sold into slavery. And Nebraska claimed six noms, including feature, director and best male lead for Bruce Dern, who stars as an old man on a final, befuddled quest.

The two films will compete for best feature honors with the sea-going survival tale All Is Lost, the New York-set romantic comedy Frances Ha and Inside Llewyn Davis, a look at the Greenwich Village folk scene in the early '60s.

Besides Ejiofor and Dern, the best actor field - which includes six, rather than five, nominees - also found room for Davis' Oscar Isaac, Fruitvale Station's Michael B. Jordan, Dallas Buyers Club's Matthew McConaughey, and, receiving his first Spirit nomination in any category, Lost's Robert Redford.

Cate Blanchettled the best female list alphabetically for her performance as a suddenly destitute trophy wife in Blue Jasmine. The category also includes Julie Delpy for Before Midnight (for which she also received a screenplay nomination), Gaby Hoffman for Crystal Fairy, Brie Larson for Short Term 12 and Shailene Woodley for The Spectacular Now.

Octavia Spencer and Paula Patton revealed the list of nominees at The W Hollywood.
