2010 Independent Spirit Award winners

This year’s 2010 Independent Spirit Awards have come and gone, and with that we present to you the list of winners. Precious definitely came pretty close to sweeping distance with nearly half of the categories, a couple of films got the recognition they deserved and it is fairly more interesting than what could possibly transpire at this Sunday’s 82nd Anuual Academy Awards.
