Kevin Smith is never shy and apparently the rotund writer and director was livid when RED STATE didn't win at this years Independent Spirit Awards. Smith was so pissed he trashed them on Twitter with the following message below:
"How the f*Ck did the @SpiritAwards NOT nominate Michael Parks?," he wrote. "Nor John Goodman? Nor Melissa Leo? F*ck your idiotic organization. #FakeIndie"
The anger apparently comes from the fact that Smith paid for a one-week Oscar-qualifying run in June to give the actors of RED STATE a chance to be nominated for awards. Instead, the Independent Spirt Awards (ISA) completely ignored his film and recognized "Take Shelter," "Beginners," "Drive," "The Artist," "50/50" and "The Descendants."
