Exclusive: Interviews At The 37th Annual Film Independent Spirit Awards [video]

by Nastacia Nickolaou March 15, 2022
written by Nastacia Nickolaou

On Sunday, March 6th the 37th annual Film Independent Spirit Awards took place near the windy but sunny Santa Monica Pier in Santa Monica, California. Celebrating indie filmmaking along with a few select television shows, the awards seeks to recognize the creative storytelling done throughout this past year on screen. All attendees were required to provide a negative COVID test as well as a proof of vaccination. This year guests ate boxed lunches to reduce the risk of exposure. The awards, which typically are held the Saturday before the Oscars, were pushed up three weeks this year in hopes of having more of an impact on the Oscars outcome. Hosts Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman kept the audience laughing as Hollywood’s independent directors, writers, producers and actors enjoyed the ceremony with fingers crossed their projects would be announced.

  “If you don’t win, you can walk straight into the ocean, right there,” Offerman told the audience at the beginning of the show.

Netflix seemed to reign as it took home most of the awards. Maggie Gyllenhaal’s film ‘The Lost Daughter’ (Netflix) featuring Olivia Colman, Dakota Johnson and Jesse Buckley made headlines as it took home the award for ‘best feature.’ Netflix also was praised for the black and white movie ‘Passing’ which Eduard Grau won for best cinematography. The Knockturnal talked to Grau about the honor and his use of shadows and light within the film. (See video)

Honorary chair and Oscar nominee Kristen Stewart were among the presenters along with Dianna Agron, Javier Bardem, Murray Bartlett, Jennifer Beals, Rosario Dawson, Daveed Diggs, Zola’s Colman Domingo, Jay Duplass, Mark Duplass, Daisy Edgar-Jones, Hannah Einbinder, Bridget Everett, and Andrew Garfield. In addition, upcoming Oscar co-host Regina Hall, Lily James, Marlee Matlin, Bob Odenkirk, Sam Richardson, Rhea Seehorn, Sebastian Stan, Sydney Sweeney, Taika Waititi, Michelle Yeoh and Nomandland and Eternals herlmer Chloé Zhao were among those taking the stage.

 

One of the most special awards of the night is called the Independent Spirit John Cassavetes Award. This award is presented to the creative team of a film budgeted at less than $500,000 by the Film Independent, a non-profit organization dedicated to independent film and independent filmmakers. It is named after actor, screenwriter and director John Cassavetes, a pioneer of American independent film. This year, ‘Shiva Baby,’ written and directed by Emma Seligman won the award. 

 

As the night winded down, Offerman beamed, “Movies are back!” Mullally joked the crowd didn’t need to clap for Offerman saying “They’re not going to see your movies.”

 

“They’re going to see the eighth Spider-Man for the sixth time,” Offerman joked.
