The Independent Spirit Awards were held yesterday, the final one ahead of tonight's 82nd Annual Awards ceremony. Ben Stiller livened things up by bringing a few 'independent' porn stars up on stage (including Maggie Gismballs and Philip Semen Hoffman) to simulate sex while he presented his award. Meanwhile, Gismballs Gyllenhaal was wearing the world's most unflattering dress, just after this, and Mena Suvari, the worst hair since, well, yesterday. Results and Stiller's porn stars after the jump....

At least she didn't have to go up on stage and collect an award (and without the help of husband Peter Sarsgaard's head to obscure it), missing out on Best Supporting Femal to Mo'Nique...

  • I haven't heard of about 85% of these fucking people and the stuff that's been nominated. Does that make me an uninformed cunt or just discerning?

  • Well done for labeling the last picture. What I like about you Mopsa, is that you're thorough. Good job well done.
