I think this is the year of the smaller films with independent spirits.

It's not about the best performances and the best films of the year. No Oscar voter believes that and no Oscar historian does.

This is George Clooney's big year.

I've been blessed in my career to be able to do studio and independent films.

People are making better and better small budge independent films these days.

I don't want to just do independent movies and I don't want to just do adventure films. I enjoy both, and I think both are cogent.
