Posted on Sun Feb 22nd, 2015 10:30am PDT By X17 Staff
While some stars were partying it up on Oscars eve, others opted for a more celebratory gathering at this year's Independent Spirit Awards!
The final award show before the big one honored some of the year's top films, with Birdman coming away with many of the more prestigious awards for the night including Best Picture and Best Actor (Michael Keaton). Boyhood was hot on its heels as it took Best Director and Best Supporting Female (Patricia Arquette) in what some say could be a solid indicator of what to expect at the highly anticipated 87th Academy Awards.
Stars like Scarlett Johansson, Olivia Munn and Kerry Washington were on hand to celebrate with their peers and take in the festivities for the night. See the complete list of winners as well as who else attended the award show!
