It only took 6 weeks to make, and it didn't cost very much, so I think it is considered to be highly profitable....

The DVD is a treasure, some really nice Nathan interviews...

I'm disappointed that it didn't get any Golden Globe nominations... I sort of thought that the screen play would, and maybe Andy Griffith for supporting actor....

I'm with you, Embers. I keep checking all the award nominations and I'm surprised not to see Waitress anywhere on the list.
I asked for the Waitress DVD for Christmas but nobody got it for me.
I'll run out and pick it up this weekend. I can't wait to take a look at the extras.

I was surprised too that Waitress didn't get any nominations from the Golden Globes, SAG Awards etc.

It is nominated for Best Screenplay (Adrienne Shelly) at the Independent Spirit Awards.

I would have also nominated Keri Russell and Nathan for Best Supporting Actor.

Andy Griffith is a natural for Best Supporting Actor but he was essentially playing himself. He may get it for his whole career. It happens a lot like that.

Just a note, if you haven't picked up the DVD of Slither yet, its got some great behind-the-scenes Nathan stuff as well.

That man is just a personality juggernaut. He's the center of attention in absolutely everything he does, and does it with grace and humor.

Oh and btw, I'm Bill Pardy.

Am I doing the math properly?
Is that a total of $60 million dollars?
Or am I just cross-eyed this late at night?

Wow, that's impressive. The little movie that could.
