Film Independent’s 26th Spirit Awards ceremony has been set for Saturday, February 26, 2011. The submission process begins Monday, August 9th. The early deadline is Monday, September 13 and the drop dead deadline is Tuesday, October 5. Submission information is available at SpiritAwards.com. The location is yet to be determined. The move to Saturday gives hope that organizers have come to their senses after last year. Let’s hope they bring the event back to the beach at Santa Monica, and hold it in the afternoon. It has always been one of the most enjoyable stops on Oscar weekend. Until last year, when it was held Friday evening, in a tent in downtown LA.

UPDATE: The 79-year-old News Corp chairman’s basic salary remains unchanged at $8.1 million, according to the latest filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission for fiscal year 2010 ending June 30th. But his performance-related bonus fell 20% to $4.4 million. Murdoch’s stock and share options last year stayed the same at $4.1 million. And, sure, there was $275,117 worth of personal use of the News Corp corporate jet. Murdoch received total compensation valued at $22.7 million for the fiscal year 2010. Murdoch still controls 317 million Class B voting shares and 8.8 million Class A non-voting shares in News Corp; together that’s worth $4.58 billion as of yesterday.
