Birdman Bounces Back at the Indie Spirits

After experiencing a bit of a bump at the BAFTA's, "Birdman" proved victorious over "Boyhood" at the Independent Spirit Awards.

That's not to say that Boyhood didn't have a chance to shine, however. Both Richard Linklater and Patricia Arquette won trophies for their contributions on the film; it seems like the main contenders have really solidified their positions as winners.

Michael Keaton, however, is still a question mark. Keaton has lost out on the BAFTA and SAG to Eddie Redmayne; he won here because Redmayne's film was not eligible. It'll be interesting to see if he can best Redmayne tomorrow night at the Oscar's given Birdman's frontrunner status.
