Chiwetel Ejiofor wins Independent Spirit Award. Ejiofor wins for his role in the film "Talk to Me".

Other winners include Ellen (Kitty Pryde in X-Men 3) Page for "Juno".

After seeing Chewie in Othello (twice!) I think that man deserves every award ever made. And then another one just for the delivery of the "goats and monkeys" line. He was insane.

Good calls!

Richly deserved award for a fine performance. I highly recommend this movie to those who haven't seen it. Great performances all around.

Well deserved recognition for a knock-it-out-of-the-park performance. I was disappointed to see that his performance in Talk to Me was overlooked for the Oscars, but it's great to see such a talented and charismatic actor getting increasing recognition for his work.

He and Don Cheadle were both excellent in this fine film.

I didn't remember that Ellen Paige was Kitty--maybe because she was such a minor character in the film. It almost makes me want to revisit X-Men 3 to see her scenes. Almost.

The Best Actor category is very strong this year. And Daniel Day-Lewis' work is PHENOMENAL. But I don't think it will be long before Ejiofor gets recognised at the highest level.

Crossoverman, are you suggesting there's a higher level of recognition than Whedonesque? :)

It goes:

- Oscar
- Razzie
- Nobel
- Whedonesque
- Independant Spirit Award

:-)

I'd be truly astonished if Mr. Ejiofor ever won a Razzie.

Shapenew | February 25, 10:17 CET

It's just not possible for anyone to ever hint at a razzie let alone award one to him. Nope. Don't believe it's possible.

Yes, I have a little Chiwetel crush. Othello. *sigh* Stupid ocean.
