Fandango Cine was backstage at the Film Independent Spirit Awards capturing moments that you wouldn’t be able to see otherwise. Here is what you didn't get to see.
5. Mya Taylor made history and gave a touching speech at the press room.
Mya became the first transgender actress to ever win at the annual ceremony for her role in 'Tangerine'.
This is what she said to the press: "When I look at acting, I don’t look at the money or the fame or anything like that," she said. "I went through a very, very hard struggle.

And if this isn’t cute enough, look at who he hung out with yesterday at Universal Studios.
2. Jacob Tremblay got to present alongside his favorite superhero, The Falcon.
You probably saw this on TV but it was way too cute not to make this list.
1. Sean Penn was spotted.
