Gotham Independent Film Awards

Indie flicks have yet another award show on their side.

Natalie Portman, Hilary Swank, Anne Hathaway and Leighton Meester were among the lovely actresses who were seen arriving at New York’s Cipriani Wall Street for IFP’s 20th Annual Gotham Independent Film Awards.

The evening’s winners included the dark drama Winter’s Bone which picked up the Best Feature Award and Kevin Asch who won the Breakthrough Director Award.

And it seems that the Gotham accolade just might be the beginning of praise for Winter’s Bone, as the film has recently been nominated for and Independent Spirit Award, the ceremony of which is held the night before the Oscars.
