- Summary: LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES (NOVEMBER 22, 2016) (REUTERS) CHRIS GARDNER, STAFF WRITER AT HOLLYWOOD REPORTER, INTERVIEWING RAMIREZ SLATE (SOUNDBITE) (English) STAFF WRITER AT HOLLYWOOD REPORTER, CHRIS GARDNER, SAYING: "I think the big surprise for me is there's a movie called 'American Honey' which received a lot of nominations this year including Best Feature and Best Director and acting nominees for Riley Keogh and also Shia LaBeouf. Those are all surprises because it was a film that had a big reception at Cannes but didn't do gangbusters business at the box office. It's sort of a challenging movie, it's a wild roadtrip movie following a group of rowdy teenagers as they cross the country selling magazines. It's almost three hours long. It's a challenging movie for people to watch but clearly it resonated with the Spirit Awards voters."
