Here are all the nominees for the 2024 Film Independent Spirit awards

This morning, Film Independent announced the nominations for their annual Film Independent Spirit Awards, honoring some of the best performances and production in independent film and television.

While “independent” is a somewhat broad term, Film Independent, a nonprofit supporting artist-driven filmmaking, defines it as a film or television show that employs “uniqueness of vision, original, provocative subject matter, diversity (on camera and behind the camera), and economy of means.” This final quality refers not only to the production’s budget, which must cap out at $30 million or less, but also whether or not the filmmakers “stretched every dollar and used every resource at their disposal to make the best and most ambitious film they possibly could.”

The 2024 Film Independent Spirit Awards, hosted by Saturday Night Live alum Aidy Bryant, will be streamed on IMDb’s and Film Independent’s YouTube channels 5 p.m. ET. Scroll on for the full list of nominations:
