IndieWire:奧斯卡前哨影評人獎由著名電影媒體indieWIRE網站頒出，一年一度評選一次， 也被看作是奧斯卡的前哨，在奧斯卡舉辦之前，提前預選優秀的電影評選活動。

The leading news, information, and networking site for independent-minded filmmakers, the industry and moviegoers alike, Indiewire launched on July 15, 1996 and re-launched with a bold new approach on January 12, 2009 (press release). Two-time winner of the Webby Award for best film website(most recently, in 2012), Indiewire was lauded as a “must read” by Variety, branded the “online heartbeat of the world’s independent film community” by Forbes, and dubbed “best indie crossroads” by film critic Roger Ebert.
