The Independent Spirit Awards were dished out in a lavish ceremony in Santa Monica yesterday, and the big winner on the night was Jordan Peele’s celebrated Get Out, which took home the Best Feature award, beating the likes of Call Me By Your Name, Lady Bird, The Rider and The Florida Project.
To accompany his win for Best Feature, Peele also picked up the Best Director award at the event.
Call Me by Your Name, nominated for six gongs took home two – Best Cinematography and Best Male Lead for Timothee Chalamet. Frances McDormand bagged the Best Female Lead Award for the superb Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri, while Sam Rockwell was awarded Best Supporting Male for the same film. Allison Janney received Best Supporting Female for I, Tonya, a deserved win.
A Fantastic Woman walked away with the Best Foreign Film award.
Ingrid Goes West won for Best First Feature, while Emily V. Gordon and Kumail Nanjiani won Best First Screenplay for The Big Sick. Greta Gerwig didn’t go away empty-handed, however, taking home the award for Best Screenplay for Lady Bird.
