Dinner for 12 Years a Slave on Saturday evening (March 1) at Sunset Tower in West Hollywood, Calif.

Angelina Jolie narrowly avoided disaster in her black, silk chiffon,
floor-length dress at the Independent Spirit Awards in Santa Monica
today. Fortunately beau Brad Pitt was at her side as she tripped over
her long, flowing dress in beautiful, gold stilettos.
Crisis averted ...
Angelina was on hand to support Brad's film 12 Years a Slave,
nominated for Best Feature. As producer of the film, Brad's project is
up for seven awards in all, including Best Director for Steve McQueen
and three acting awards.

Ahhh, the Independent Spirit Awards—perhaps the only awards show where
John Waters has a better seat than Cate Blanchett or Brad Pitt. Such was
the case at today’s event, hosted by Patton Oswalt, which welcomed some
surprise guests to its stormy Santa Monica confines. Among them:
Angelina Jolie, who was there to support fiance Brad Pitt and 12 Years a Slave,
which won best film. The aforementioned rain, which caused flash-flood
warnings in some part of Los Angeles. And an uncomfortable monologue
offensive aimed at Bruce Dern, the 77-year-old Oscar-nominated star of Nebraska.
Any other afternoon surprises were of the small-scale variety: for
instance, from our P.O.V., neither Angelina Jolie nor Brad Pitt checked
their cell phones once throughout the show—a clue that substantiates our
theory that the Hollywood duo was genetically engineered by Russians to
make the rest of us feel inferior. And Keanu Reeves is the kind of guy
who will gently head nod to a Darlene Love live performance. The
afternoon was lovely, if devoid of any glaring awards upsets. Well,
lovely for everyone, perhaps, except for Bruce Dern. “I really want to
buy you a beer after this to talk about how Nebraska came together,”
Oswalt said, attempting to make faux-nice with the actor. “Not the
movie. . .the state.”
The grey clouds and rain didn't stop people from having a good time this afternoon at the Film Independent Spirit Awards.
And I'm not just talking about what you saw during the telecast on IFC.
The cameras couldn't capture everything. So with that, here are five things you didn't see on TV…
1. Ladies Man:Brad Pitt was the ultimate gentleman. When 12 Years a Slave was named best feature, he blew a kiss to Lupita Nyong'o
on his way up to the stage to accept the award with his fellow
producers. When he made his way backstage, he didn't take off to do some
press until Angelina Jolie
assured him, "It's OK, baby. Go ahead. I'm OK here." He later grabbed
onto her when she tripped on her dress on the way to their car. And Cate Blanchett—Pitt's costar in Babel and The Curious Case of Benjamin—got
a sweet embrace and kiss on the cheek from the world's sexist
daddy-of-six as they passed each other in the rain. Speaking of the
rain, Blanchett appeared to be the only celeb who held her own umbrella.
And she did so while also carrying her Spirit Award for best actress
for her work in Blue Jasmine.
2. Boys Club:Michael B. Jordan gave Jared Leto a tight hug when the longhaired Dallas Buyers Club took a walk outside shortly have winning the best supporting actor award. A few minutes later, Andrew Dice Clay asked Leto if he could take a picture with him.
3. Robin, Who?: As we already told you, Paula Patton stunned in a yellow Lorena Sarbu minidress for her first red carpet appearance since she and Robin Thicke announced they had separated. And once inside the show, she sat at table that included Jeremy Renner, Anna Kendrick, Elisabeth Röhm as well as Michael Sheen, who Patton chatted—and laughed—with the most.
Instagram
4. No Hard Feelings:Michael Fassbender and Zoe Kravitz proved they could be friends despite their past failed romance. The X-Men costars chatted while the 12 Years a Slave
star took a smoke break outside. Fassy then visited the On3 gift
lounge, where he picked up swag from Breyers Gelato Indulgences, Dark
Horse win, New Balance, TiVo and DJ Phantom 2 Vision.
5. Hairy Situation: Did you see Gaby Hoffmann's recent full frontal scene on Girls? Her hair downtown left quite the impression. Well, so did the hair under her arms today at the Spirit Awards.

From a “Team Gravity”
and “Team 12 Years” pow-wow to Jared Leto’s joke about his sex life to
Brad Pitt’s air kisses — everything viewers won’t see on the telecast
TheWrap had elite access at Saturday afternoon’s Independent Spirit Awards.
The Party Report was seated front and center with Stella Artois, who
presented the Spirits’ “The Truer than Fiction” award. The awards base
camp was so close to the stage it had up-close views of Hollywood’s
A-list, including Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. The location even had
one seat-neighbor too nervous to look at her phone in fear that host
Patton Oswalt would be permanently pissed if he caught her in head-down
mode during his opening monologue.

Here’s the best stolen scenes and missed moments from inside the
room. There will be no warning shots. On the fluke chance you’re reading
about the Spirit Awards but don’t want to know who wins, consider this
your spoiler alert.
Stealth = Secret
Both Brad Pitt and Jeremy Renner flexed a secret skill honed by their veteran star status – walk alone.
Renner cut through the carpet hugging the wall alone and undisturbed,
while Pitt snuck a mid-show pit stop to the golf trailers, speed
walking to avoided all interactions. Renner used the “found time” to his
advantage, spending the entire pre-show with the most popular guy in
the tent – John Waters (above). “Gravity” vs. “12 Years”
Warner Bros. President Sue Kroll (above left, heading the studio behind Oscar frontrunner “Gravity”) and Fox Searchlight co-president Stephen Gilula (above right, behind Oscar frontrunner “12 Years a Slave”, which won the top prize Saturday) spent the after-show frenzy hanging out in the “12 Years” section.
Post-Carpet Shoe Switch
Moments after walking the long carpet, nominee Yolonda Ross quickly
pulled a costume change. She snagged some New Balances from the gifting
suite and was wearing them fearlessly, while someone in her crew carried
her heels. June Squibb: ‘Get Me Back to Work”
“I do want to work. I had some things offered, but I didn’t do them
because of all of this. I really wanted to be a part of this (awards
season) for the whole thing. I’m ready now. I’m very eager now to get
back to work.” – Best Supporting Actress nominee June Squibb telling
TheWrap about her journey over the past few months, on the day before
Awards Season ends.

Early Call Time
The first award of the day went out at 11:30 a.m., almost two hours before the show started.
Patrick Creadon received $25,000 in cash with his trophy, as part of
the “Bright Future” award. “Now I can drink, I’ve already done my
speeches,” Creadon told TheWrap around noon. “I’m looking for a spicy
bloody mary around here. Have you guys seen one?”
Still Partners in Crime
When Matthew McConaughey won for Best Actor, Jared Leto was the first
person to start the standing ovation. After giving his awards season
sign off of “Just Keep Livin’,” McConaughey walked off the stage back to
his table, before someone came and collared him to hit the press room.
Hits the Spot
As Michael Fassbender entered the compound from the frenzy outside,
the sometimes stoic actor grabbed a Stella Artois right away. “I needed
this.”
Brad Blowing Kisses
The “12 Years a Slave” section in the front of the house was huge,
spanning several tables. When Pitt was on his way to the stage to accept
with fellow producer Dede Gardner and director Steve McQueen, he was
blowing kisses to that section. He kept it up while on stage.
The two producers sat next to each other, while earlier in the day
the seat next to Pitt only said “Talent Guest,” not “Angelina Jolie.”
The Longer the Better
There was no cut-it-off music or “Wrap Up Please” on the teleprompters for winners.
Producers let winners go on as long as they wanted and two of the
best both approached the length of an act of episodic television.
Jared Leto’s joke was spending four minutes thanking non-traditional
influences (e.g. Mozart, Steve Jobs, “all the women who think they’ve
been with me”), while Ryan Coogler went almost seven minutes, holding
the room with a monologue about unarmed victims of gun violence. “They
always look like me, or Michael (B. Jordan), or Ephraim (Walker, a
consultant on the film), or (“Short Term 12’s”) Keith Stanfield.
The room tone shifted when Coogler said that a recent victim would be alive if he “looked like Matthew McConaughey.”
Fruitvale Fans
One of the loudest “Woots” of the afternoon came when Coogler won for
“Best First Feature.” Octvia Spencer, who played his mother in the film
and whom Coogler credited with getting on the phone to fundraise
mid-shoot, was actually the presenter for the award. Spencer got to
enjoy the celebration on stage.
Diego and Dawson
Presenters Diego Luna and Rosario Dawson were laughing and chatting
in the dark throughout the nominees package for “Best International
Film” (which went to the Oscar-ineligible “Blue is the Warmest Color”).
Nobody from “Blue” accepted and so it’s unlikely this will make air.
Elvis Has Left the Building

Climate Change
With minutes to go in the ceremony, the rain was tip-tapping on the
tent. Immediately, the temperature in the tent dropped by about 15
degrees, as if entering a walk-in refrigerator. The Film Independent Spirit Awards premiere on IFC on Saturday night, March 1 at 10 p.m. EST/PST, before repeats. June Squibb photo by Kevin Winter/Getty Images. All others by Mikey Glazer.

Brandi Fowler
and
Marc Malkin Angelina Jolie couldn't stop gushing over Brad Pitt at the Independent Spirit Awards.
After 12 Years a Slave took
home Best Feature (and a ton of other accolades) at the relaxed awards
show Saturday afternoon, the Oscar-winning actress told us exclusively,
"I'm very proud of him. I am always very proud of him."
Pitt not only appeared in the slave drama, but he also served as one of its producers.
Although
the duo skipped the carpet at the Independent Spirit Awards, Jolie and
Pitt snuggled up at a table inside of the event where the brunette
beauty flashed her engagement ring.

The 29th edition of Film Independent’s Spirit Awards started with
Angelina Jolie networking with Brad Weston, head of New Regency, and
Leto glad-handing director Alexander Payne. Shailene Woodley and Nyong’o
embraced and Willie Garson was hanging out near the gelato before host
Patton Oswalt took the stage to for his opening monologue.
...
The awards were held under the traditonal big white tent on the beach.
In order to be nominated, each film has to have less than a $20 million
production budget. To vote, one need only buy a $95 per year membership
in Film Independent, the nonprofit arts organization that also produces
the Los Angeles Film Festival.

Jolie, 38, looked stunning in a chic, long-sleeve black dress. She wore
minimal makeup and rocked simple earrings. Pitt, meanwhile, looked
handsome in a sleek suit. He opted out of using much hair gel for the
evening, as his locks were loose and wavy.
The parents of six were photographed holding hands as they skipped the
red carpet, and looked lovely at each other once they took their seats.
The 50-year-old actor's Oscar-nominated film is up for seven awards at
the award show.

Angie and Brad have not checked their phones once at the #IndieSpiritAwards. They clearly have amazing self restraint, manners & child care

Only at the Independent Spirits can you look one direction and see Reggie Watts, then turn your head and see Brad and Angelina.

Someone needs to tell "press" people that taking pictures of talent with your cell-phone makes you look like a cheap, slackjawed rube.
