• The Independent Spirit Awards aired on IFC and Bravo yesterday. Unfortunately Dogma, which was up for Best Original Screenplay, was edged out by “Election”. Election is a well-written flick, but we can’t help but think Dogma’s writing was quite better. But then again, we may be biased. Still, damn shame. Election also took the awards for best picture and director, so there were obviously some huge fans of the flick amongst the voters. That sort of explains why Dogma lost the screenplay nod.

Jason Lee was on hand to present the “Blair Witch Project” with the award for best movie under $500,000. Also, in a montage of movies honored in the awards, they showed the “Salsa Shark” clip of Clerks. That’s about all that happened Askew-related at this year’s show.

While we’re on the topic, in case ya didn’t see it, IFC does have an interview with Kevin online HERE.
