The 2014 Independent Spirit Awards have come and gone, and like always, were a treat for those who love the more laid-back setting and diverse films than you see at the Academy Awards. Like past shows, this year's Spirit Awards lined up Oscar fare like "12 Years A Slave" alongside some films Oscar snubbed in the major categories, like "Inside Llewyn Davis" and "All Is Lost." The show also gave lesser known filmmakers a chance to strut their stuff alongside some of Hollywood's best and brightest.
This year's show was hosted by fan-favorite and nerd extraordinaire Patton Oswalt, and it was definitely, well, different from what we'll get when Ellen hosts the Oscars. But until then, here's the full winners list for the Independent Spirit Awards, so you can see which films took the top prizes and which of your favorite, lesser-known filmmakers triumphed on Saturday night.
