If the Oscars were half as entertaining as the ISA on the Independent Film Channel the ratings would be at record highs. Those are some great awards for movies you likely haven't heard of.
The most entertaining acceptance speech came when Micky Rourke won the best actor award for The Wrestler. It went for a good five minutes and was funny. He didn't prepare a list but made it up as he went. You are allowed to say anything you want and he did.
The Oscars are very stuffy by comparison which is likely why fewer and fewer are watching. The elitism is evident while at the ISA you feel that you could come in off of the street and sit down with everyone and fit right in.
I've watched it the past few years, I believe six but if not then I know I've seen it the past five. So far every time it has been a far better show than the Oscars and the movies are ones I'd be far more interested in seeing.
If you can catch the replay catch it. It is a great time!
