There is less overlap with the Oscar nominations this year than typical among the 37th annual show’s nominees, which honours films with budgets under $22.5 million. A Chiara, C’mon C’mon, The Lost Daughter, The Novice, and Zola are among the Best Picture nominees, with the latter two films topping the pack with five and seven nominations, respectively.
Among distributors, A24, Neon, and Netflix had the most nominations. The Film Independent Spirit Awards are the organization’s main fundraiser for the year, with members voting on the winners.
