It's a big awards weekend in Hollywood. We hear what it's like for a movie executive whose company has three of the five films in Oscar’s Foreign Language category and he still doesn't feel like a front-runner. But before the Academy Awards on Sunday, folks in the indie world are heading to their annual awards bash on Friday. We hear from indie film panelist John Waters and others about how they're going to roll at the Spirit Awards.

Guests:

Michael Barker: Co-president/Co-founder, Sony Pictures Classics
John Waters: filmmaker
Effie T. Brown: independent film producer
James Gray: Spirit Award-nominee, 'Two Lovers'
