Posted on: February 27th, 2011Rita Pereira5 comments

“Black Swan” and “Winter’s Bone” were the big winners at the 2011 Film Independent Spirit Awards held at Santa Monica Beach on Saturday (February 26).

For the first time, “The King’s Speech” did not dominate the night since it only won the Best Foreight Movie, the only category it was nominated for. This gave the opportunity for others to shine.

“Black Swan” took home the award for Best Feature, Best Director (Darren Aronofsky) and Best Cinematography in addition to Best Female Lead (Natalie Portman). Oscar host James Franco was named Best Male Lead for his role in “127 Hours”.
