‘Black Swan’ dominated the Independent Spirit Awards last night. Best film, best director and best actress all went to the psychological thriller. Is that an indication of how tonight’s Oscars are going to go?

Could Natalie Portman be any cuter?

According the the NY Mag, the awards ceremony was held on the beach – and everyone absolutely FROZE.

The Film Independent Spirit Awards, held in a beachside tent Saturday during unusually cold Santa Monica weather, were dominated by wins by Black Swan. And for all the travails the nominated filmmakers might have experienced on the path here (lack of funding, last-minute casting, no trailers to protect Nicole Kidman from the paparazzi, as Rabbit Hole director John Cameron Mitchell told us), these troubles seemed overshadowed by the day’s frigid wind. When asked how it felt to win the Best Director award, Black Swan’s Darren Aronofsky said, “F’in cold.” The weather got lots of mentions during the telecast, hosted by Joel McHale, and even more attention as the shivering winners made their way to the billowy press tent. It was so cold that Natalie Portman was seen sporting not one, but two jackets over her knee-length, summer-y dress during the show. “I’m from New York, so I was expecting to come here like, ‘It’s bikini time,’” said Lena Dunham, a winner for Best First Screenplay for Tiny Furniture. “It’s not bikini time.”

Amanda Peet doesn’t want to be one of those Hollywood moms having babies when they are senior citizins. At 38 she thinks her biological clock is ticking away.

“I’m really old,” Peet told UsMagazine.com at Thursday’s NYC launch party for DumbDumb. Her screenwriter husband David Benioff “was like, we have to wait three years. And I was like, we don’t have three years! We’ll be too old at that point,” she said.

Peet has a 3 year old daughter named Frances and gave birth to her second child in, Molly, in April. Peet is ready for a third, but wants to hurry up and get it done before the big 40! If she doesn’t want to undergo IVF she may have the right idea to speed it up according to Dr. Alan B. Copperman.

“At 40, there’s only a 10 percent chance of conception, and at 45, it’s just 2 percent.” Dr. Alan B. Copperman, director of reproductive endocrinology at L.A.’s Mount Sinai Medical Center tells Us.

It seems like lately all these celebrities are having babies way up in their 40s and 50s. I guess they are having some help if it’s only a 2% chance at 45!

Amanda Peet ditched David Letterman on Tuesday for a good reason: She went into labor early and delivered daughter Molly June Benioff in New York.

The actress had been scheduled to appear on the “Late Show with David Letterman” to promote her upcoming film, “Please Give,” but instead she welcomed her second child with screenwriter husband David Benioff.

“Mother and daughter are doing great,” Peet’s rep tells PEOPLE.

Pregnant actress Amanda Peet takes her daughter to the park with some other friendly moms in Beverly Hills, CA on January 30. 2010 for some mother/daughter fun, during which little Frances Pen Benioff happily ran around barefoot and made friends with the other children. Peet, who announced she was pregnant with her second child back in December comfortably toted around a friend’s little baby.

UsMagazine.com – which first broke the news of Peet’s pregnancy – can exclusively reveal that she is expecting a daughter.

While at the Sundance Film Festival – where Peet, 38, premiered the comedy Please Give on Jan. 22 – the actress showed off her baby bump and was overheard telling pals, “We’re having a baby girl!”

In 2007, Peet and her husband of three years, screenwriter David Benioff, welcomed their first child, Frances “Frankie” Pen, whom Peet named after her mother, Penny.

Last year, she told Parade she hopes her daughter doesn’t grow up too fast.

“I’m trying not to think about what the world will be like when she grows up,” she said. “I think more about when is she going to start drinking and wearing a G-string and how can I stop those things from happening.”

Amanda Peet is pregnant again!

The actress, 36, and her husband of three years, screenwriter David Benioff are expecting their second child, her rep tells Usmagazine.com exclusively.

In 2007, Peet — who recently appeared in the sci-fi flick 2012 — welcomed daughter Frances “Frankie” Pen, whom she named after her mother, Penny.

eet has said motherhood is not what she expected.

“One surprise of motherhood for me was how little control I have,” she told Cookie magazine last summer. “I thought it would be an extended, blissful romance with me at the helm, cuddling this little creature to life. It’s been bittersweet and humbling to let her lead, and to try not to be perfect myself.”

Last month, Peet told Parade she hopes her daughter doesn’t grow up too fast.

“I’m trying not to think about what the world will be like when she grows up,” she said. “I think more about when is she going to start drinking and wearing a G-string and how can I stop those things from happening.”
