Award Weekend Roundup!

POPSUGAR Celebrity — Mon, 08 Mar 2010 16:00:00 PST

This weekend was the mother of all award show weekends! It started off Friday night with the Independent Spirit Awards and ended Sunday with the Oscars. With two red carpets came a plethora of dresses, so to round up the weekend, here are my four favorites. Did I miss your favorite look?

Precious Ladies and Lenny Lead the Way With Carey, Maggie and More at Independent Spirit Awards!

Molly — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 08:45:18 PST

Friday marked the 25th anniversary of the Independent Spirit Awards, which they celebrated by airing it live for the first time. The precursor to today's Oscars is always a looser affair, but the red carpet had its own impressive ensembles - vote on them with all of Fab and Bella's love it or hate it polls. Lenny Kravitz had a Hollywood up-and-comer, his daughter Zoe, on his arm to support his movie Precious. Carey Mulligan was solo, which is apparently her plan for today as well, which dashes our hopes that she'd bring her cute boyfriend Shia LaBeouf. Vera Farmiga was representing the Up in the Air cast in her red dress.

The winners were able to have a bit of fun both mingling with friends during the big dinner and on stage where anything goes. Mo'Nique and Gabourey Sidibe both took home statues for their work in Precious, which was the night's big winner - see the full list on Buzz. While Mo'Nique is the favorite for tonight as well, in the press room she said she isn't expecting anything. Ryan Reynolds and Maggie Gyllenhaal carried their champagne on stage, and she was also called up to join her Crazy Heart costar Jeff Bridges when he was named best actor. Colin Farrell embraced Elton John as he entered the awards right as they started. During the show, Jeremy Renner checked out the backstage gifting suites and Elle Lounge. Award season's big finale is tonight, and we'll be updating live here and on PopSugar's Twitter from the red carpet and press room!

2010 Independent Spirit Awards: Maggie Gyllenhaal

POPSUGAR Fashion — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 22:56:02 PST

Maggie's usually a red carpet risk-taker, and tonight's no different. She opted for draped black Lanvin, with a slinky asymmetrical neckline - no jewels required, just sexy skin. Are you into it?

Announcing the Winners: The 2010 Independent Spirit Awards

POPSUGAR Entertainment — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 22:35:57 PST

Before the focus shifts to Avatar and The Hurt Locker at the Oscars, some of Hollywood's smaller (but equally wonderful) movies stepped into the spotlight at the Independent Spirit Awards. Precious led the way with five awards, including trophies for Gabourey Sidibe, director Lee Daniels, yet another for Mo'Nique, and the night's biggest - best feature.

The night marked yet another win for Jeff Bridges and Crazy Heart, while Woody Harrelson took home the award for best supporting actor. I was super psyched to see that some of my favorite movies of the year, like (500) Days of Summer and An Education, also got some recognition. Check out all the big winners when you

Independent Spirit Style: Maggie Gyllenhaal

POPSUGAR Celebrity — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 21:27:31 PST

Maggie Gyllenhaal smiled for the photographers in an all black avant-garde number for the 2010 Independent Spirit Awards. Her asymmetrical black dress was sexy yet interesting with its low cut neck, ruffles and ruching, and black tights and peep toe pumps made the look unique. See this Vivienne Westwood for a similar vibe!

POPSUGAR Beauty — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 20:52:25 PST

Maggie Gyllenhaal must be holding a lot of happiness, because she's emanating a glow at the Independent Spirit Awards. Her luminescent skin, rosy cheeks, and gorgeous lip color all add up to an unfussy but elegant look. Thickly lined eyes and a wavy bob complete Maggie's overall style. Are you a fan, or just so-so tonight?

2010 Independent Spirit Awards: Carey Mulligan

POPSUGAR Beauty — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 20:47:25 PST

Ever since the October release of An Education, it's been a whirlwind of exciting experiences for Carey Mulligan. Tonight, the excitement lies in her bold matte red lipstick, a striking shade that complements her newly lightened pixie. A touch of gold shadow and dark liner on the upper lashes brings it all together. Are you inspired by Carey's gamine style?
