It's an award-filled weekend, folks: the 2024 SAG Awards took place on Saturday, February 24 and only a day later, the Film Independent Spirit Awards 2024 follows with its own lineup of worthy films and television nominees.
Now in its 39th year, the Indie Spirit Awards distinguishes itself from other industry awards ceremonies. Firstly, it honors the best independent films and television series of the past year and caps the production budget for prospective nominees at $30 million, hence why you won't see box-office blockbusters like Barbie, Oppenheimer, Poor Things and Killers of the Flower Moon on the nominations lineup. Secondly, it did away with gendered acting categories last year, instead highlighting performers of any gender in brackets such as Best Performance, Best Supporting Performance and Best Breakthrough Performance.
