The 2024 Film Independent Spirit Awards are set to take place in Santa Monica, California, on Sunday, February 25. This prestigious event celebrates the best in independent film and television, highlighting the talent and creativity of filmmakers outside the traditional Hollywood system. Hosted by Aidy Bryant, a former cast member of Saturday Night Live, the ceremony will kick off at 5 p.m. ET/2 p.m. PT.
Star-Studded Presenters
A stellar lineup of presenters will be on hand to announce the winners at the Spirit Awards. Notable names such as Sterling K. Brown, Anna Kendrick, Jude Law, and Emma Roberts will join Bryant in handing out trophies to the deserving recipients. Honorary Chair and Spirit nominee Lily Gladstone, fresh off her SAG Awards win, will also be in attendance, adding to the star power of the event.
The Spirit Awards’ film nominees this year are led by A24’s “Past Lives,” Netflix’s “May December,” and Amazon MGM Studio’s “American Fiction,” each receiving five nominations. These films will compete for the prestigious Best Feature award, alongside other contenders such as Searchlight’s “All of Us Strangers,” Sony Pictures Classics’ “We Grown Now,” and Mubi’s “Passages.” It is worth noting that last year, A24’s “Everything Everywhere All at Once” took home the Best Feature award, setting the stage for a successful run at the Oscars.
For those unable to attend the event in person, the Spirit Awards will be live-streamed on various platforms. Viewers can tune in to the YouTube pages of IMDb and Film Independent, as well as Film Independent’s X channel (formerly Twitter). Additionally, Deadline will also be streaming the ceremony for fans to watch from the comfort of their own homes.
With its focus on recognizing and honoring independent cinema, the 2024 Film Independent Spirit Awards promises to be a night filled with excitement, talent, and celebration. From the star-studded presenters to the impressive list of nominees, this event is a testament to the diversity and innovation present in the world of independent film and television.
