The LA Times has a nice feature up on Argento's Mother of Tears in their special section, The Envelope: The Awards Insider.

The article looks at Argento's work habits, his return to films about witches and his relationship with daughter Asia Argento.

While the article makes no mention of possible kudos, the fact that it's mentioned in The Envelope site itself bodes well for Argento's hopes for recognition with this film.

Who knows?  After Borat's success last year, maybe Midnight Madness will become the new launch pad for the major awards season.  Hey... we can dream, can't we?
