"Juno" delivered three key wins at Saturday's Independent Spirit Awards including best picture.
The annual kudos fest, held on the beach in Santa Monica, anointed Fox Searchlight the big winner with "Juno's" Ellen Page and Diablo Cody best actress and first screenplay, respectively.

The specialty label, which also won top prize last year for "Little Miss Sunshine," also celebrated two significant wins for its film "The Savages," with Philip Seymour Hoffman taking best actor honors and Tamara Jenkins being tapped her screenplay.

Julian Schnabel won the best director statue for his "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly."

Rounding out the main awards were Chiwetel Ejiofor for his supporting turn in "Talk to Me" and Cate Blanchett as best supporting actress for "I'm Not There." She dedicated her award to the late Heath Ledger.
