INDIE SPIRIT AWARDS




Last night the Indie Spirit Awards were held. As a fan of independent films I enjoyed this awards show. It was not a formal event, it took place under a tent, it was not censored and the winners were allowed to speak as along as they wanted. It was only 2 hours long. I think that The Oscars can learn a few things from the Indies. Here is a list of the winners:
