2018 Independent Spirit Awards Winners: ‘Get Out’ Wins the Night

With the Oscars just around the corner, it’s almost time to wrap up awards season. But before Hollywood has its biggest night, the Independent Spirit Awards always take the time to honor some of the smaller, indie movies. In this case, some of these movies have already made quite a run during awards season, were distributed by a major studio and ended up with a bunch of Oscar nominations, but they were also independently financed.

The 2018 Independent Spirit Awards winners were announced Saturday night, and Get Out came away with the big prize for Best Feature. In addition, Jordan Peele won Best Director. But the film wasn’t able to come away with Best Screenplay. Instead, that honor went to Greta Gerwig for Lady Bird. Check out the rest of the 2018 Independent Spirit Awards winners below.

When it comes to the nominees that have crossed over into the Academy Awards, the frequent winners this awards season came out on top. Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri continues to dominate the Best Actress and Best Supporting Actor category with Frances McDormand and Sam Rockwell winning yet again. Allison Janney also took home Best Supporting Actress for I, Tonya.

It’s nice to see Timothée Chalamet get some more love for Call Me by Your Name, especially since Gary Oldman has been dominating the Best Actor category most of the time for Darkest Hour. Meanwhile, The Big Sick winning another screenplay award is always great news, and Lady Bird getting a win here is fantastic too.

***

There has been some speculation that Get Out could end up winning Best Picture at the Oscars this weekend, but Three Billboards and The Shape of Water are still looming large in that race. The predictions are too close to make a definitive call, so it’ll be interesting to see who wins Best Picture tomorrow. This Indie Spirit win could bode well for Get Out, but even if it doesn’t win Best Picture, the movie has already become a certified hit and will undoubtedly become a modern classic.
