The 2024 Film Independent Spirit Awards are on Sunday in Santa Monica with former SNL cast member Aidy Bryant as host, Variety reported.
American Fiction, May December and Past Lives lead the nominees with five nods.
The Indie Awards retired the traditionally gendered acting awards in 2022 and replaced them with Best Lead Performance and Best Supporting Performance, with 10 nominees each.
The John Cassavetes Award is given to the best film made under $1 million and went to Fremont. The Best First Feature Award is given to both the film's director and producer and went to A Thousand and One. The Robert Altman Award is given to the film's director, casting director as well as the ensemble cast, and went to Showing Up.
Celine Song won Best Director and her film Past Lives won Best Feature. The director is rumored to be in talks to cast Pedro Pascal, Dakota Johnson and Chris Evans for her next movie.
