SANTA MONICA, Calif. — “The Artist” won best picture and three other prizes Saturday at the Spirit Awards honoring independent film, a possible prelude to a big night at the Academy Awards for the black-and-white silent movie. The film also won for best director for Michel Hazanavicius and lead actor for Jean Dujardin as a silent-era star whose career crumbles as talking pictures take over in the 1920s.

Sandler received a record 11 nominations Saturday for the Razzies as star, producer or writer on three 2011 movies — “Jack and Jill,” “Just Go with It” and “Bucky Larson: Born to Be a Star.”
That more than doubled the previous record of five Razzie nominations held by Eddie Murphy for 2007’s “Norbit.”
