Today marks the 38th installment of the Film Independent Spirit Awards, the most persistently outsider-y of the major Hollywood awards shows. Hosted by Hasan Minhaj (with a whole bunch of jokes about how the show has now gone so independent that it’s not even running on TV anymore), the show acknowledges greatness in both TV and film. (Now, without splitting performances up by gender.)

Here’s the full list of winners, which we’ll be updating throughout the afternoon; winners are in bold.
