On Feb. 23, some of Hollywood's biggest celebrities descended on Santa Monica, CA, to celebrate notable independent films at the Spirit Awards. Glenn Close made a fun appearance on the red carpet with her dog, Pip [1], and other stars such as Regina King and Dakota Johnson [2] flashed bright smiles for the cameras. Legion star Aubrey Plaza hosted the show, and Sterling K. Brown, Finn Wolfhard [3], Taraji P. Henson, and Amanda Seyfried [4] presented some of the honors. While If Beale Street Could Talk took home the trophy [5] for best feature, Richard E. Grant continued to have a quietly successful award season [6] by snagging best supporting male actor for Can You Ever Forgive Me?. There were quite a few fun moments both on and off stage, so keep scrolling to see the best pictures from the event!
