The Independent Spirit Awards wrapped up about an hour ago, and Little Miss Sunshine walked away with the top prizes: best picture, best director, best first screenplay and best supporting actor for Alan Arkin.
Sweet Land, the prairie love story filmed in Minnesota, went 1 for 2 on the night: It won best first feature for director Ali Selim, but Elizabeth Reaser lost out on best actress to Shareeka Epps of Half Nelson.
Cringe-inducing moment of the night: presenter Felicity Huffman mispronouncing Epps' first name as "Shakeera" -- twice! (At the end of the program, host Sarah Silverman said next year's show will be hosted by "Facility Huffman.")
Funniest moment: During a generally moving tribute to the late Robert Altman, Lily Tomlin turned to Robert Downey Jr. and said, "You remember what he used to say ... or, maybe you don't." (To which Downey reacted with a spot-on arched-eyebrow take.)
