The Independent Spirit Awards are an annual award given in the name of independent film, featuring plenty of those little indie films which deserve the honor and recognition that they usually don't receive - celebrating their 33rd year. The 2018 winners of the Spirit Awards were announced Saturday before the Oscars at a ceremony out in Santa Monica. The main winner this year was Get Out, winning Best Director and Best Film, the two top prizes. The rest of the winners include a good mix of some of our favorites, like Call Me By Your Name and Faces Places. These are always a nice counter-balance to the Oscars, especially this year with a nice mix of smaller films getting awards. Read on for the list of Indie Spirit Awards results.
You'll notice an [IMDb] link next to each film. This is so you can discover great new films, because there is guaranteed to be at least one film you've never heard of in here. Read on for a complete list of nominees and winners from the 32nd Independent Spirit Awards. Winners from each category are designated in BOLD.

For last year's list of nominees and winners, which included Moonlight also winning both Best Film + Best Director, and Isabelle Huppert from Elle winning Best Actress - click here. This year's set of nominees for the Indie Spirits includes many major Oscar crossovers, but still highlights quite a few true independents that barely got mentioned by The Academy. I'm very happy about Chloe Zhao's The Rider being nominated, and winning one award, plus films like The Disaster Artist, Oh Lucy, Crown Heights, Beatriz at Dinner, Columbus, and the documentary Quest. As usual, all of these little films are worth watching and discovering and sharing with friends. These are the real gems of the movie industry and always the very best of the best.
