Independent Spirit Awards 2024: tutti i vincitori

Si è tenuta la la 39 esima edizione dei Film Independent Spirit Awards, i premi del cinema indipendente americano, votati dagli oltre 6.000 membri dell’associazione Film Independent.

2024 Independent Spirit Awards: Full Winners List (variety.com)

I film candidati sono prodotti negli Stati Uniti con un budget inferiore ai 28 milioni di dollari.

Negli ultimi anni Oscar e Spirit si sono  allineati molto con una tendenza che vuole l’Academy nominare sempre più spesso film impegnati e indipendenti. Ma non è sempre scontato.

Nel 2021 Nomadland aveva trionfato sia agli Spirit che agli Oscar, nel 2022, invece, gli Spirit avevano preso una direzione diversa, premiando come miglior film La figlia oscura, che non era stato neanche nominato al relativo Oscar.

L’anno scorso  Everything Everywhere All At Once ha trionfato sia agli Spirit che agli Oscar.

Quest’anno il grande favorito agli Oscar è Oppenheimer , film ad alto budget prodotto da una grande major. Agli Spirit Awards hanno invece avuto modo di spiccare film indipendenti acclamati dalla critica e dai festival come Past Lives, American Fiction, May December, The Holdovers – Lezioni di vita.

A dominare è stato Past Lives di Celine Song, nominato come miglior film e miglior regista. American Fiction di Cord Jefferson ha vinto il premio per la migliore sceneggiatura e per la migliore interpretazione (Jeffrey Wright). Tre premi per The Holdovers – Lezioni di vita: migliore attore esordiente a Dominic Sessa, migliore interpretazione da non protagonista a Da’Vine Joy Randolph, e miglior fotografia.

Anatomia di una caduta è stato poi indicato come miglior film internazionale.

Negli Spirit ci sono categorie genderless per gli attori, unite sotto un’unica categoria “migliore interpretazione da protagonista” e “migliore interpretazione da non protagonista”.
