12 Years a Slave nearly fully swept the Independent Spirit Awards and hopes to become only the third film in history to win the top prize here and at tomorrows Oscar ceremony-- The Artist and Platoon are the only movie so far to accomplish that feat.  I'd say the proceedings went according to plan with the exception of Southern California suffering its worst storm in years.  Curiously, if all four acting winners today repeat tomorrow (a legitimate possibility), that would be a first.
