Stars Show Their Independent Spirit

PopSugar — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 09:00:43 -0800

Before the Oscars rushed in, Hollywood celebrated at the Independent Spirit Awards on Saturday night. Angelina's baby bump was the talk of the town, but Cate Blanchett was the only mommy-to-be to take home a trophy. Ellen Page also scored one of the three awards that went to Juno, and you can check out the full list of winners here. Most of you were loving Kate Beckinsale's red carpet look, but she looked pretty stone-faced inside the show, even between manjoyable Josh and Len. ICYMI, be sure to check out all of Fab and Bella's red carpet coverage and polls.

Lots more pics including Dennis Quaid, Aaron Eckhart, Lisa Kudrow, and Meg Ryan, so just read more

Spirit Awards 2008: The Ceremony

PopSugarUK — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 09:02:22 -0800

Hey, this awards ceremony looks almost as fun as the Brits! It's good to see that Rainn Wilson didn't put a serious host-face on for the Independent Spirit Awards ceremony, as you can see from these pics... Allison Janney also brought the funny, arriving on stage with dollars hanging out of her cleavage, and Javier Bardem shared a passionate embrace onstage with Julian Schnabel. Cate Blanchett dedicated her award to Heath Ledger, simply saying "This is for him."

To see a list of the winners as well as a good deal more pics from the ceremony, featuring Ellen Page, Javier Bardem, Meg Ryan, John Waters, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Kimya Dawson, Lisa Kudrow, Zach Braff, Kate Beckinsale, Dustin Hoffman and others, just read more

The Independently Spirited Gather in Pre-Oscar Excitement

Molly — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 08:47:47 -0800

While the weekend's big event is just hours away, last night's Independent Spirit Awards brought out some big names and one very talked-about baby bump. You know, ICYMI, Angelina Jolie showed off that she is indeed pregnant on the arm of Brad Pitt/Robert Redford (just saying). Sienna looked very happy to be up for best leading actress, but lost to Ellen Page whose Juno also won best feature film. Check out all the winners here. Eva Mendes is apparently out of rehab and red carpet ready while, swoon, Keri and Shane are so my new favorite celebrity couple. Javier and Ellen were unintentional red carpet twinsies - who wore it better? We'll see if tonight's a repeat performance for the two Oscar nominees. As you check out all the red carpet looks don't forget to vote on Fab and Bella's love it or hate it polls.

Stars Have Spirit, Yes They Do!

PopSugarUK — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 03:24:08 -0800

A whole host of gorgeous and quirky types were out for the Independent Spirit Awards in California yesterday. At the reception for nominees a selection of the attendees had a sneak preview of Rainn Wilson's hosting skills, but this was the real deal. Brad showed up with a blooming Angelina, Ellen Page and Javier Bardem wore very similar outfits (and managed to look equally cute - who wore it better?) and all the stars and makers of this year's Indie favourites were out in force from Diablo Cody and Sienna Miller to Philip Seymour Hoffman and Julian Schnabel.

As you check out all the red carpet looks don't forget to vote on Fab and Bella's love it or hate it polls. For more photos of the arrivals including Matt Dillon, Josh Hartnett, Allison Janney, Jason Reitman, Ellen Page, Javier Bardem, Brad and Angelina, Cate Blanchett, Jada Pinkett-Smith, Ricki Lake, John Waters, Parker Posey, Kate Beckinsale, Sienna Miller, Eva Mendes, Jason Bateman, Steve Buscemi and others, read more

Who Wore It Better? Menswear at the Independent Spirit Awards

FabSugar — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 19:54:44 -0800

I couldn't pass this one up. Ellen Page and Javier Bardem both showed up to the Independent Spirit Awards in black suits, untucked white button-downs, and skinny black ties. The only difference was in the shoes - Javier went with trainers, while Ellen rocked ballet flats. Who wore menswear better?!

Take all of my Independent Spirit Awards polls here. And be sure to come back tomorrow for the Sugar Network's live Oscar Party! We will be live chatting and polling you on all of the red carpet looks as they happen. You won't want to miss it.

Independent Spirit Awards: Cate Blanchett

FabSugar — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 19:31:55 -0800

Fashion chameleon Cate went for a billowy Vera Wang navy and cranberry cocktail dress, accented with shiny silver accessories. I love the shoes . . . do you love the whole look?

Independent Spirit Awards: Kerry Washington

FabSugar — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 19:29:23 -0800

I'm all about channeling your independent spirit when it comes to fashion, but I'm not sure about Kerry's Oscar de la Renta Pre-Fall chartreuse look. The skirt is pretty cool, but something went awry here. Thoughts?

Rainn Wilson Gets Schooled in Indie Film

BuzzSugar — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 17:35:16 -0800

At Saturday's Independent Spirit Awards, host Rainn Wilson joked that with his background as a TV star, he couldn't possibly understand the intense, edgy world of indie film. The solution: Hook him up with indie mentor Dennis Hopper, who schooled him in the ways of knuckle tattoos, drug smuggling, and getting pummeled on the street. Between all those sucker punches and kicks to the head, our little Rainn may never be the same. To check out the clip of Rainn's indie hazing, just read more.

Independent Spirit Awards: Kate Beckinsale

FabSugar — Sat, 23 Feb 2008 17:29:11 -0800

We know you can't wait for the Oscars. We can't either, but in the meantime, there are the Independent Spirit Awards to give you some pre-Oscars eye candy. Kate Beckinsale is a vision in her ivory drop-waist dress . . . but do you think it looks too much like a wedding gown?
