I watched all of this on IFC. One thing I didn't like was the fading of the image to have a big giant corporate sponsor logo take over the screen. WTF? Mostly, though, it was a good show. Nice moments between Maggie Gyllenhaal and Jeff Bridges, Lee Daniels and Mo'nique. I LOVED Gabourey Sidibe's speech. So fun and she was thrilled. Loved that she mentioned saving her money to go to the independent theatre to see Welcome to the Dollhouse. Noteworthy: in the montage of 25 years of independent spirit, where was Far From Heaven or Brokeback Mountain? Both films won Best Feature and neither was shown. Odd. Yet there was a SHITLOAD of Little Miss Sunshine. Didn't care much for Eddie Izzard. Ben Stiller was surprisingly tolerable as the final presenter, though the porn star thing was kinda dumb. Oh, and the (500) Days of Summer screenwriters were cute.
