Andy Samberg sings a parody of Pearl Jam's 'Alive' to celebrate actors who are, um, still alive.

Saturday's Film Independent Spirit Awards didn't have an In Memoriam segment. Instead, they had Andy Samberg, doing his Eddie Vedder impression, sing about all of the stars who are "still alive."

"We thought it would be more efficient to do a reel of people who did not die," John Mulaney, who hosted the award show with Nick Kroll, explained.

So, Samberg sang a parody of Pearl Jam's Alive and highlighted Hailee Steinfeld, Tim Allen and Craig Robinson who are still very much alive. Casey Affleck? "He just stepped outside."

As for Fred Armisen, he staged a death during the segment. Samberg tweeted a quick eulogy during his performance.
