A24\u2019s Adam Sandler thriller Uncut Gems and Robert Eggers\u2019 spooky black-and-white movie The Lighthouse led the Film Independent Spirit Awards nominations Thursday morning with five noms apiece, followed by Amazon\u2019s Honey Boy scripted by Shia LeBeouf and based on his rocky childhood.<\/p>\n
For a fourth straight year, A24 lead all Spirit noms with 18, after counting 12 last year and 17 in 2017. Neon was second this morning with 10 noms. Amazon was third with eight, up from last fall\u2019s six. Netflix was next with seven, up one from six a year ago. IFC Films counted six noms.<\/p>\n
Studio classic labels came up short, with Fox Searchlight counting one for A Hidden Life, Sony Pictures Classics also one for The Climb, and Focus Features two for The Mustang.<\/p>\n
Making a surprise entrance to this year\u2019s Spirits was STX with Hustlers, which nabbed noms for director Lorene Scafaria, best supporting actress Jennifer Lopez and DP Todd Banhazl.<\/p>\n
Films made for a budget of $22.5 million or lower are eligible this year, so if you don\u2019t see certain prestige pics listed in the noms, sometimes it\u2019s not a snub.<\/p>\n
However, why is Fox Searchlight\u2019s Jojo Rabbit, which won the top prize at the Toronto Film Festival, missing? That pic was reportedly made for $14M and had a shocking zero presence today. Apparently that movie was only available for international film as all the team is from New Zealand. That\u2019s odd given the fact that international film is typically designated a foreign-language pic.<\/p>\n
For Netflix this year, Noah Baumbach\u2019s Marriage Story is eligible while The Two Popes, Dolemite Is My Name, The Laundromat, The King and, of course, The Irishman are not. Also missing from the list of noms is Amazon\u2019s The Report and Seberg, Focus Features\u2019 Harriet (made for $17.5M) and Todd Haynes\u2019 Dark Waters. Lionsgate\/Bron Studios\u2019 Bombshell was not among the noms, however, the Jay Roach-directed Fox News drama has a reported budget north of $35M.<\/p>\n
Quite often the Spirits have been a predictor as to what wins Best Picture at the Oscars with AMPAS and Film Independent syncing on Moonlight in 2017, Spotlight in 2016, Birdman in 2015 and 12 Years a Slave in 2014. However, the last two years have been off, with 2018 seeing Get Out won at the Spirits and The Shape of Water at the Oscars (the latter pic wasn\u2019t eligible at the Spirits due to its budget). This past February, If Beale Street Could Talk won Best Feature at the Spirits while the Oscars went with Green Book, which also wasn\u2019t eligible at the Spirits.<\/p>\n
This year\u2019s Best Features noms include Terrence Malick\u2019s A Hidden Life, Chinonye Chukwu\u2019s Sundance Jury Prize winner Clemency, Lulu Wang\u2019s The Farewell, Marriage Story and Uncut Gems.<\/p>\n
This morning\u2019s announcement was made by Joker actress Zazie Beetz and Ad Astra and Honey Boy actress Natasha Lyonne from The Line LA. Next year\u2019s event is early due to the Oscars being moved up. So we\u2019ll see you all at Santa Monica Beach near the Pier on February 8.<\/p>\n
