"Little Miss Sunshine",
Starring Greg Kinnear, Steve Carell, Abigail Breslin and Alan Arkin both received nominations for best supporting actress/actress.
I thought it was one of the best I'd seen in a long time... -m-
Here's IMDB.com's take:
This was a little less indie, cast-wise, but was jarringly real in a way that Hollywood rarely fosters. The story is of a limply-functional family, whose good leg is dysfunctional, and of the way that their love for each other is solid, somewhere underneath the varying shades of crazy. This film. Oh, this film! I have never laughed harder, and at such true-to-life comedy--nothing silly or goofy or forced or fake about the lines. It felt more like watching a documentary (minus all the familiar faces) and every time the laughter became almost unbearable, a little dash of agony or melancholic sadness was thrown in, and spawned aching tears. I sigh still, thinking of how completely in control of my insides that cast, that writer, that director all were. They owned my *ss, and I will love them forever for it.
