The Independent Spirit Awards

Ok, so it was hard to compete with a pregnant and radiant Angelina Jolie walking down the red carpet with her honey Brad Pitt. She did not win Best Female Lead for A Mighty Heart, but given the choice, which would you rather have? I’d pick the hunky husband and the gorgeous kids (I think!). I’d love to have Angelina and other high profile women who are juggling family and career on our podcast, and ask, how do you do it all? Check out Podcast # 7, when Tara, Stephanie, Heidi and I discuss the issue.

Here’s a list of the women who took home awards:

Best First Screenplay - Diablo Cody – Juno
Best Female Lead - Ellen Page – Juno
Best Screenplay - Tamara Jenkins - The Savages
Best Supporting Female - Cate Blanchett - I‘m Not There
IFC Truer than Fiction Award - Laura Dunn - Director of The Unforeseen
