With only 45 seconds, many Academy Award recipients barely have enough time to spit out their thanks before getting the cue to wrap it up. So when MTV News caught up with Oscar winner Juicy J on the set of MTV2's we asked the Three 6 Mafia rapper if he had any advice on accepting such a prestigious honor in such a small increment of time.

"Just don't be drunk, you know, be sober the whole show. And if you win, or if you don't win or whatever, then get drunk after the show," he said. "That's what I did, you know what I'm saying, I was super sober and after the show, after we won, I actually tried to get drunk, but I couldn't because I was super tired, but I was drunk, a little bit."

Juicy J gives Katy Perry a perfect "10" on the stripper pole.

When Three 6 took home the Oscar for Best Original Song in 2006, "Thank you Jesus," was the first words out of Juicy's mouth. With this said, it's no surprise that giving it up to the big guy in the sky was first on his list of "dos."

"I think they should thank God, man, you know what I'm saying; I don't hear a lot of people thanking God, in their acceptance speeches," he explained. "They be just like, yo, thank this person. You should thank everybody, and thank God as well, you know what I'm saying. It it wasn't for him, we wouldn't even be here."

With a host of gold and ...

While the red-carpet that nominees walked on their way to the beachside tent hosting the Independent Spirit Awards was a deep blue, the weather in Santa Monica for the 29th Annual edition of the awards was all roaring dark surf and slate-grey clouds that, on occasion, opened up with rain.

Still, stars were in attendance — Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Jeremy Renner, Maria Bello, Shailene Woodley and other non-nominees or prior winners. Notable nominees in attendance included "12 Years a Slave" star Lupita Nyong'o (resplendent in gold), Matthew McConaughey, Cate Blanchett and Jared Leto.

Once everyone was safely inside and relatively dry, the show kicked. Here's everything you need to know about the Saturday night's show.

Dallas Winner's Club
Jared Leto, an early winner in the Best Supporting Actor category for his work as Rayon in "Dallas Buyer's Club" noted in his attendance speech that "I'm f--king proud to be part of this group who take risks," thanking "burritos ... Kurt Cobain ... every woman who's been with me, every woman who thinks they've been with me and my future wife, Lupita N'yongo" to laughter before ultimately dedicating his award to AIDS victims and "the whole L, G, B and T community."

Best Actor winner Matthew McConaughey was clearly humbled by winning an award for playing AIDS-stricken unlikely activist Ron Woodroof, saing, "[Ron] made enough noise that he moved that file, waiting on the desks of Congress or the FDA — how do we treat AIDS patients going forward? — to the top of the stack ..."
