You gotta love a movie whose main character is named "Poppy". Happy-Go-Lucky is that movie, and it just may be this year's indie darling when it comes to Academy Awards time.Unlike its predecessors Little Miss Sunshine and Juno, however, this comedy-drama (watch the trailer here) has a little bit more going for it, namely the five previous Oscar nominations of its writer/director, Mike Leigh (Secrets & Lies, Topsy-Turvy, Vera Drake). If anything, Poppy herself -- Sally Hawkins -- looks poised for a possible Best Actress nod; she already won the Silver Bear at the last Berlin International Film Festival.
Happy-Go-Lucky opens stateside October 10.
