Loved the Spirit Awards. Nice to give recognition to a gifted goup of artists. Could have done without the tacky comedian and her tastless jokes. Interesting that Little Miss Sunshine won so many awards but the star of the show, a child, could not be in attendance due to the poor content of the moderator. Let's make it a family show next time. No matter disfunctional we are.

Is that really why Abigail Breslin was not at the awards, because of Sarah Silverman? Speaking of Sarah Silverman, I thought Sarah was being Sarah. And she wouldn't be Sarah, if she weren't talking about having sex in some form or other (see: Jesus is Magic).

I wasn't too impressed with Sarah Silvermans' little disses at Felicity Huffman. She only appeared to make herself seem as a jealous jerk. Who is Sarah Silverman anyway? I have NEVER heard of her. Who was she wearing.... K-Mart? Looked like it. She has no class as far as I am concerned. Make her go away.

"Road to Guantanamo" is a docu-drama, a re-enactment. It is NOT a Documentary.

Sarah only dissed Felicity because Felicity couldn't pronounce Shareeka Epps' name right. (How Shareeka = Shakira I will never know). Anyway does anyone know if there will be clips of the musical numbers anywhere? Those were hialrious. I LOVED the one with Rosario Dawson and Jeremy Renner. Neil Patrick Harris' was hilarious as well

I'm just trying to find out what film Lorette Devine was singing about with her "Beauty & The Beast"/Beauty is deceased song. It was funny, but I missed the film's name.

Thanks for all the great music, especially Taylor Dane!

Your show is so much more fun than the one by the Academy of Farts and Biases excuse my French.

Now I know all the movies I want to see this year, which is all of the nominees.

And I am really happy for "Quinceanera" getting the John Cassavetes award.

I hope the future is full of more independent film theaters in small towns so more people can enjoy them.

The movie Lorette was singing about was The Dead Girl--
I thought the whole experience/ as well as volunteering was such a blast... everyone was so relaxed and just gracious!
I had fun! Can't wait till next year!

I missed the show but I heard all about the musical numbers. I think this has already been asked but will they be posted? I would love to see Jeremy Renner singing.
