OSCAR’S
DECLARATION OF INDIE-PENDENCE
 When
the 78th annual Academy Award ceremonies are televised on March
5, fans of Hollywood’s mainstream, special-effects driven
blockbusters may feel they’ve wandered onto an alien planet.
To them, we say good night, good luck and get with it. Here are
the nominations for the Best of 2005--and you shouldn't be surprised
if the two "Brokeback" gallop to the stage on what has
got to be a big night for the indies.
