[As it turns out, I had enough time to put this update out before heading off to Brighton. Least you don't have to wait a week for these results.]
Last night (Sunday 6th March) the 37th Film Independent Spirit Awards took place. As I'm sure you all know by now, they recognise films made wholly or partly outside the traditional studio system.
The awards were handed out in an in-person event at the traditional beachside tent in Santa Monica, hosted by husband-and-wife team Nick Offerman (Parks And Recreation) and Megan Mullally (Will & Grace). Things almost feel back to how they were BC (Before COVID) with one exception: instead of one day before the Oscars, the Spirit Awards were being held three weeks before. Not sure whether this will be a permanent change or if it's just for this year.
Here's a full list of winners.
Best Feature: The Lost Daughter
Best Female Lead: Taylour Paige (Zola)
Best Male Lead: Simon Rex (Red Rocket)

The Lost Daughter leads the winners with three awards, whilst Zola and Passing each get two.
Congratulations to all winners!
