The Independent Spirit Awards is a much more laid-back situation than the Oscars. People come in various levels of “dress” –some much more dressed up; others not so much! But the night is one of comaraderie and friendship and without a lot of audience other than the people in attendance.
However other than the papparazi, there is one tent that is a nice visit for those in attendance and that’s the offical Presenter Gift Lounge which held an array of gifts that were a a delight to everyone in attendance.
The Gift Lounge area. (swank fun)
