James Franco, "The Kids Are All Right," "Winter's Bone" and "Tiny Furniture" scribe Lena Dunham are also among winners.

Debra Granik’s Winter’s Bone was the heavy favorite going into Saturday's Independent Spirit Awards ceremony with seven nominations but it was Fox Searchlight's Black Swan that danced away with top honors: best feature, best director for Darren Aronofsky, female lead acting kudos for Natalie Portman and a cinematography prize for Matthew Libatique.
