Santa Monica, California: 'Juno,' a runaway hit comedy about a wisecracking pregnant teen, picked up the top prize at the Spirit Awards, the independent film community's version of the Oscars, on Saturday.
The movie was named best feature, while Canadian actress Ellen Page won the female lead award for her role as the titular heroine.
The only category 'Juno' missed out on was best director, which went to Julian Schnabel, the pop artist who made the French-language drama 'The Diving Bell and the Butterfly.'
