The couple was not in a rush to remodel their house to fit the new Oscars trophy, but were excited to put the mood on, maybe with some soothing music and candles for a very special night. According to The Sun, he was heard saying, "We won't stay at the afterparty long..."

The source added, "Matthew wasn't worried about getting drunk, he was more keen to get home with his beautiful wife, which he made quite clear in her ear."

The very happy couple are parents to Livingston, 14-month-old son, Vida, four-year-old daughter and Levi, their five-year-old son. The Brazilian supermodel was spotted kissing McConaughey throughout the after party. A party-goer even told The Sun, "It was so lovely to see, though. It's clear how in love they are. They kissed and kissed and kissed."

Family is very important for the star of "Dallas Buyers Club". According to Entertainment Wise, the 44-year-old took a break from their PDA moments and said, "You are the four people in my life that I want to make the most proud of me. Thank you."

"To my family, that who and what I look forward to. To my father who, I know he's up there right now with a big pot of gumbo. He's got a lemon meringue pie over there. He's probably in his underwear. And he's got a cold can of Miller Lite and he's dancing right now," he said in his Oscar speech, Independent reports.

His mother was there to witness her son's huge accomplishment. Matt included his father in his speech saying, "To you, Dad, you taught me what it means to be a man. To my mother who's here tonight, who taught me and my two older brothers' demanded that we respect ourselves. And what we in turn learned was that we were then better able to respect others. Thank you for that, Mama. To my wife, Camila, and my kids Levi, Vida and Mr. Stone, the courage and significance you give me every day I go out the door is unparalleled."

The Kenyan actress turned 31 a day before the Oscars where she is a front runner for best supporting actress.

12 Years a Slave dominated the Independent Spirit Awards, where it took five prizes.

They included best feature and best director for Britain's Steve McQueen.

Other acting trophies went to Cate Blanchett, for her role in Blue Jasmine, and to Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto, for their roles as Aids patients in Dallas Buyers Club.

All three are favourites to win at the Oscars on Sunday night.

The annual Independent Spirit Awards, which honour low budget film-making, take place in a giant tent on Santa Monica beach.

This year the ceremony was accompanied by strong winds and bursts of heavy rain beating down on the tent.

12 Years a Slave also won awards for screenplay and cinematography.

Screenwriter John Ridley told the BBC after his win he didn't realise how affecting the story was until he experienced it on the big screen with an audience.

"I had no idea until I saw it in a room with 250 people and felt what they felt at that moment," he said.

Picking up the best director award, McQueen dedicated it to the film's subject Solomon Northup who "inspired me to look and find the truth".

Brad Pitt, who co-produced and starred in the film, said backstage: "I thank Mr McQueen for bringing us all together to tell Solomon's story."

He added: "It's interesting that it took a Brit to ask the questions why more films hadn't been made in America on our history."

Fruitvale Station was named best first feature while Nebraska won a best first screenplay award.

Its writer Bob Nelson, 57, joked that it was the "fulfilment of boyhood dream to be oldest recipient of a first time screenplay award".

He said Nebraska's veteran lead actor Bruce Dern "took a role based on my old dad and made him live again".

The documentary prize went to 20 Feet From Stardom, which shines a spotlight on the world of the backing singers.
