Hollywood is hitting the beach as the 40th Film Independent Spirit Awards get underway at Santa Monica Pier.
Hosted by Aidy Bryant for the second consecutive year, Anora and I Saw the TV Glow lead the nominations with six apiece at this year’s awards show. Along with Nickel Boys, Sing Sing and The Substance, both films are up for Best Feature.
A movie’s threshold for qualification at the Spirits is that its production cost can’t exceed $30M, which is why several major titles have been excluded from the nominations.
Present at Saturdays awards show were nominees Justice Smith, Danielle Deadwyler, Jessica Gunning and Adam Pearson. Also in attendance were Julia Fox, Walton Goggins, Katie Aselton and more.
The awards show streams live at 2pm PT on IMDb and Film Independent’s YouTube channels, and across other social platforms.
