Regina King, Daveed Diggs, Regina Hall, If Beale Street Could Talk Among 2018 Indie Spirit Nominees<\/strong>Posted by Wilson Morales<\/p>\n

November 16, 2018<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This morning, Film Independent announced the nominations for the 2019 Film Independent Spirit Awards.<\/strong> The Spirit Awards are the primary fundraiser for Film Independent\u2019s year-round programs, which cultivate the careers of emerging filmmakers and promote diversity in the industry. Film Independent President Josh Welsh presided over the press conference held at the W Hotel in Hollywood, with actors Gemma Chan and Molly Shannon presenting the nominations. Nominees for Best Feature included Eighth Grade, First Reformed, If Beale Street Could Talk, Leave No Trace<\/strong> and You Were Never Really Here<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cThis year\u2019s nominees reflect the bold originality that is the heart of independent film,\u201d<\/strong> said Film Independent President Josh Welsh. \u201cAt a time when huge tent-pole franchises threaten to dominate our film culture, this year\u2019s films and filmmakers offer something completely different \u2013 something vital, uncompromising, and needed. The nominees also show that, when it comes to diversity and inclusion, independent film is leading the way for the rest of the industry.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

Suspiria was selected to receive the Robert Altman Award, which is bestowed upon one film\u2019s director, casting director and ensemble cast. The Altman Award was created in 2008 in honor of legendary director Robert Altman who was known for creating extraordinary ensemble casts.<\/p>\n

Winners, who are selected by Film Independent Members, will be announced at the Spirit Awards on Saturday, February 23, 2019. The awards ceremony will be held on the beach in Santa Monica, just north of the Santa Monica Pier. The show will broadcast live exclusively on IFC at 2:00 pm PT\/ 5:00 pm ET.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Winners of the Spirit Awards Filmmaker Grants will be announced at the Film Independent Spirit Awards Filmmaker Grant and Nominee Brunch on Saturday, January 5, 2019.<\/p>\n

Film Independent is proud to announce the return of our collaboration with AT&T, who joins once again as Premier Sponsor and Official Wireless & Video Services Partner. American Airlines joins for the fifth year and returns to fund the Bonnie Award, recognizing a mid-career female director with a $50,000 unrestricted grant. And we welcome this year\u2019s Official Automotive Partner, Subaru of America.<\/p>\n
