2021 Film Independent Spirit Awards Nominations: The Full List

The spirit of independent filmmaking is all about making it work, so it should come as no surprise that even though the pandemic forced Hollywood to temporarily shut down, there were still plenty of films to choose from for the 36th Film Independent Spirit Awards.

On Tuesday, Film Independent — along with special presenters Laverne Cox, Barry Jenkins and Olivia Wilde — unveiled this year’s nominees. (Including, for the first time, television honorees!)

The Indie Spirit Awards ceremony itself was previously rescheduled due to COVID-19 and will take place on April 22 — the Thursday before the Oscars, a slight break from tradition — airing live on IFC.
