Refresh for updates: It took a while, no thanks to the pandemic, but we finally have the Film Independent Spirit nominations for 2021. They’re being dropped in a video this morning and we’ll update you with details ASAP.
This year’s awards includes a TV category, and as we told you last week this year’s edition will break its longstanding tradition of taking place on the Saturday afternoon before Sunday’s Oscars, and will be broadcasted on Thursday, April 22 at 10 PM ET. The ceremony will be televised, as always, on IFC.
Last year’s Best Feature was A24’s The Farewell with Benny and Josh Safdie taking home Best Director for A24’s Uncut Gems. Adam Sandler won Best Male Lead for Uncut Gems and Renee Zellweger Best Female Lead for Roadside Attractions’ Judy.
Olivia Wilde, Laverne Cox and Barry Jenkins announced today’s nominations.
