The list of winners at the 30th Independent Spirit Awards confirmed that a number of Oscar nominees are shoo-ins for the biggest awards of the evening.
“Birdman” is now the absolute frontrunner for Best Picture thanks to its Best Feature win at the Spirit Awards, and Michael Keaton — who lost the SAG and BAFTA Awards to Eddie Redmayne in “The Theory of Everything” — is now neck and neck with Redmayne for Best Actor.
The victorious cast of “Birdman” opened up in the Indie Spirit press room about the sweeping, peculiar film and winner Keaton discussed where he plans on putting his Oscar if he wins one: “Next to my Nobel” of course.
