Jesse Eisenberg: 2011 Film Independent Spirit Awards

Jesse Eisenberg: 2011 Film Independent Spirit Awards

Making another stop during the two-month awards show circuit, Jesse Eisenberg was in attendance for the 2011 Film Independent Spirit Awards today (February 26).

The 27-year-old actor looked studly in a black suit as he mingled with fellow celebrity guests backstage at the Santa Monica beachfront venue.

Despite being left out as a nominee for Best Actor for his portrayal of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg in the acclaimed movie "The Social Network," Jesse kindly agreed to take the stage to hand out a trophy to one of the lucky honorees alongside Rosario Dawson.

Meanwhile, the 2011 Film Independent Spirit Awards are set to air at 10:00 ET on IFC with Joel McHale handling the hosting duties.

Jesse Eisenberg Convinced Awards Attention Is A One-Time Thing

Jesse Eisenberg Convinced 

Awards Attention Is A One-Time Thing

Despite being nominated for just about every award out there, Jesse Eisenberg is convinced this is all just a once-in-lifetime thing. The “Social Network” star said:

“I’ve never been involved in a movie that’s received this kind of attention. I’ve never played a role that’s received this kind of attention… I imagine this will be the only time in my life where this will happen.

He’s finding the whole process to be a little strange:

“The endless promotion (has) been a bit jarring… There are actually some people who do this every year. To me it just seems like a really taxing process.
“You lose a sense of perspective. You lose a sense of needing to be creative. You lose a sense of what actual life is like. And you lose a sense of your own abilities… And one day, I can tell my children about how silly it was.”

He’s pretty young, and assuming that he sticks with acting, I suspect we’ll be seeing a lot more of him during awards season each year.
