FYI
Best comedy: The gifts keep piling up for Nia Vardalos' My Big Fat Greek Wedding. The low-budget box-office smash took two of the four honors at the U.S. Comedy Arts Festival's first-ever film awards this week in Aspen, Colo. Greek Wedding was chosen in voting by Hollywood professionals as last year's best independent comedy film and won the audience award for comedy film of the year, an honor given through online fan voting.
