The 2013 Independent Spirit Awards Wrap-Up

The 2013 Independent Spirit Awards were last night, the day before the Oscars, and everyone you’d thought would win, did. Well, relative to the Independent Spirit Awards. Matthew McConaughey won Best Supporting Male Performance for his role in Magic Mike and was pretty happy all he had to do was take his pants off. Who knew it would be that easy? He said, “I had to take my pants off to win a trophy, I had to drop trou to win an awards. F**k yeah!” So now there’s a stipulation in every one of his contracts that all his roles be pants-less.

Naturally, most of the stars showed up. I’ll probably post more of Jennifer Lawrence because side boob. I know that’s the only reason you come here. I feel so used.

The most surprising thing about this awards season has to be that Chris Tucker is in an award winning movie. Mind. Blown.
