Tonight were the Independent Spirit Awards, which aired live on the Independent Film Channel and will be broadcast with editing on AMC. The Spirits are the awards show where all the actors are in casual dress and look like they just stepped off the beach (maybe some did).
The winners tonight were:
Best Picture: The Wrestler
Best Actor: Mickey Rourke, The Wrestler
Best Actress: Melissa Leo, Frozen River
Best Supporting Actress: Penelope Cruz, Vicky Cristina Barcelona
Best Supporting Actor: James Franco
Best First Screenplay: Dustin Lance Black, Milk
Best Screenplay: Woody Allen, Vicky Cristina Barcelona
Best Director: Tom McCarthy
Best First Feature: Synecdoche, New York
Best Foreign Feature: The Class (France)
Best Documentary: Man on Wire
The Spirits are for smaller budgeted movies only, which is why you see no Dark Knight or Benjamin Button nominations. I'm just thankful that Rachel Getting Married won nothing, because if it was going to win anywhere it would win there, and it shows that there is some humanity/justice in the indie world.
