The 36th annual Film Independent Spirit Awards aired on April 22nd, 2021, at 10 pm EST on IFC, hosted by comedian and "Saturday Night Live" cast member Melissa Villaseñor. The Spirit Awards tend to be one of my favorite awards shows every year due to their unique group of winners and highlighting more smaller, lesser-seen films than the bigger televised awards show. It is also refreshing to see films and performances that have received many nominations throughout the season finally get a win and chance in the spotlight. This year, they also featured categories highlighting the best of the year in independent television, specifically new series. Some consider the Spirit Awards to be the "Film Twitter awards" as of late due to Film Independent's reasonably easy process of anyone becoming a member and voting. Still, I was incredibly excited for this year's ceremony, and the eventual crop of winners was a breath of fresh air in this elongated season.

Last night, the 2021 Film Independent Spirit Awards were held last night representing the best in independent film for 2020. After the show, I decided to do something I've never done before, which was to hop on a Zoom call with the NBP Film Community right after the show to talk about the winners and what our thoughts are heading into the Oscars this Sunday. Since Film Independent is an organization that anyone can join, it only felt right to celebrate this evening with the community, some of whom are voters themselves. Tune in below to listen and enjoy!

On November 21st, the Film Independent Spirit Awards announced their 2019 nominees, highlighting the best of independent film this year. Every year, the Spirit Awards put on a unique and fun show, particularly in their continued efforts to highlight much smaller, underseen films rather than instantly going for awards season frontrunners or mainstream titles. With such an incredibly strong slate of independent films, this year’s crop of nominees are no exception. However, no line-up is perfect and there are clear omissions and head-scratchers found in this group. Here, we’ll take a look at the surprise highs, lows, and WTF's, as well as what this might mean for the awards season ahead.
