Film Independent Spirit Awards Full Winners List

Aidy Bryant of Saturday Night Live hosted the 39th Film Independent Spirit Awards, which honored the finest in independent cinema and television today at the Santa Monica Pier. There was fierce rivalry among the six performance categories (three for cinema, three for television) after gender-neutral acting categories were added last year.

On Sunday, February 25, the ceremony was aired live on X (previously Twitter) and the YouTube account of Film Independent. The biggest winners of the evening were Past Lives, The Holdovers, and Beef. The Holdovers won three prizes, while Past Lives and Beef each won two.

Here’s the full list of winers.
