Indie Darlings - Dubbed the Oscars of independent film, the Independent Spirit Awards celebrates the best indie talent in the business. The ceremony, which traditionally takes place the day before the Academy Awards, was held on the beach in Santa Monica, California. David Oyelowo had two acclaimed films on the indie circuit this year — Selma, in which he played Dr. Martin Luther King, and A Most Violent Year, opposite Jessica Chastain and Oscar Isaac.
