Michel Hazanavicius' "The Artist" was the big winner at the 2012 Film Independent Spirit Awards.

Here's the complete list of the winners of the 14th Annual British Independent Film Award: BEST BRITISH INDEPENDENT FILM -- TYRANNOSAUR

I love the Sundance Film Festival. The winners of the fest normally have long legs enough to last all the way until the Oscars. This year, for example, "Pariah" was one of the breakout hits from Sundance, and the Dee Rees coming-of-age flick is being distributed by Focus this month.

"The Artist"and "Take Shelter"scored the most nominations for the Film Independent's Spirit Awards announced today. Each film received five nods while "Beginners," "Drive," "The Descendants," and "Martha Marcy May Marlene" each received four nominations.

"The Tree of Life" and "Beginners"emerged as the big winners for the 21st Gotham Independent Film Awards. "The Descendants"and "Martha Marcy May Marlene"led the pack with three nominations each

I adore Joss Whedon! He created one of the best TV shows ever with "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," and his take on "The Avengers" looks very promising.

John Donovan and I spent a fun-filled morning at Theatre7 taping several interviews for Filmmakers Notebook and the other programs in John’s Network The La Voce Radio Show.

Terra King, the national film examiner on Examiner.com and queen of her new website webseriescon.com joined me on Filmmakers Notebook for a fun conversation about webisodes and web series.

Filmmakers Notebook has really enjoyed this 3 Part Q&A with independent filmmaker John Paul Rice, who is President of No Restrictions Entertainment.

Unfortunately, I am not one of the lucky ones spending time at SXSW this year and instead I'm home in Las Vegas. Not that I'm bored or have nothing to do. In fact, just the opposite.
