Film Independent's 2007 Spirit Awards were held at the Santa Monica Pier in Santa Monica, CA on February 24, 2007.
"As the first event to honor independent film exclusively, Film Independent's Spirit Awards has made a name for itself as the premier awards event for the independent film community. It's a celebration of the spirited pioneers who bring a unique vision to filmmaking. Along with being a great party, the Spirit Awards ceremony also brings together the top talent from independent film and Hollywood. Trophies are presented for the years' best achievements in independent film, with statues awarded for Best Feature, Best First Feature, Best Feature Made for Under $500,000 (the John Cassavetes Award), and many more," states Film Independent's website.
Among this year's big winners were Little Miss Sunshine, Half Nelson and Thank You for Smoking, with theatre veterans Frances McDormand and Alan Arkin among the winners in acting categories.
