‘Frozen River’ Oscar screeners are in the mail
Variety’s Anne Thompson is reporting that Sony Picture Classics has fired the first shot this Oscar season. The distributor announced that it has just sent out Oscar screeners for the indie drama Frozen River. Melissa Leo‘s performance as a struggling single mother in the film has generated Oscar buzz since Sundance. Of course, being the only truly buzzworthy part of this year’s lackluster festival certainly helped.
We non-Academy folks are still waiting for a DVD release date.
