Independent Spirit Awards: "Juno" Rules

I never get tired of pimping this movie. In fact, I like "Juno" almost as much as I like Barack Obama. The two have more in common than you think: both are smart, totally refreshing and most important of all - deserving of your vote.

"Juno" had no problems getting the votes on Saturday, as it scored big at the Film Independent Spirit Awards. The quirky comedy took the top prize for best feature film, best actress honors for Ellen Page and best first screenplay for Diablo Cody.

The film, a coming-of-age story about a teen who discovers she's pregnant, is up for four Oscars at tonight's Academy Awards: Best Picture, Cody for Best Screenplay, Page for Best Actress, and Jason Reitman for Best Director.

I'm Team Juno, in case you couldn't tell.

Diablo Cody has won the award for Best First Screenplay for "Juno" at the Film Independent Spirit Awards taking place in Santa Monica today. Cody is also up for an Oscar for Best Screenplay at tomorrow's Academy Awards.

"This is the coolest award in the coolest category. There is nothing like writing a first screenplay," Cody said.

Cody wrote her first book, Candy Girl, at the age of 24 while working as a stripper to help support her 5-year old stepdaughter and then-husband Jonny Hunt.

Independent Spirit Awards: Angelina Jolie Totally Reveals Her Humongous Baby Bump

There's no doubt about it - Angelina Jolie is a hundred percent pregnant. Jolie arrived with Brad Pitt at the Independent Spirit Awards in Santa Monica on Saturday, making no attempts to hide her baby bump under a tent dress or oversized handbag.

Though she hasn't officially confirmed her pregnancy, I'd say the bump speaks for itself. And it's saying, "There's something in my oven, people."
