It may have missed the big Oscar, but "Brokeback Mountain" rode off with the top prizes at the 2006 Independent Spirit Awards on Saturday. The romantic drama was named best feature and earned Ang Lee best directing honors.

"Capote," "Crash" and "Transamerica," also took two awards each - best actor and script for "Capote", best first feature and supporting actor (Matt Dillon) for "Crash", and best actress and best first screenplay for "Transamerica".

Single nods went to "Junebug" for best supporting actress, "Good Night, And Good Luck" for best cinematography, "Paradise Now" for best foreign film, and "Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room" for best documentary.

Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman and Paris Hilton won worst-of prizes Saturday at the Razzies, the annual 'Worst Films of 2005' ceremony. Jenny McCarthy was the night's big loser, the blonde bombshell landing worst picture, actress and screenplay for romantic comedy "Dirty Love".

Other winners include Hayden Christensen, Rob Schneider, "Son of the Mask" and "Bewitched". A full list of the disgraced winners can be found here.
