Which films and stars won big at the 2014 Independent Spirit Awards? Is Paula Patton devastated over her split with Robin Thicke? What advice does Oscar winner Juicy J have for tonight's nominees?

The Independent Spirit Awards are often referred to as a "dress rehearsal" for the Oscars and many of last night's winners are favorites to win big tonight. 12 Years A Slave won Best Picture, while Cate Blanchett, Matthew McConaughey, Lupita Nyong'o and Jared Leto took him the acting prizes.
