Independent Spirit Awards celebrate indie movies and TV in Los Angeles

Independent Spirit Awards celebrate indie movies and TV in Los Angeles

Ethan Hawke,Rose ByrneandKeke Palmerare just a few of the actors up for prizes at theFilm Independent Spirit Awardson Sunday in Los Angeles. Comedian and "Saturday Night Live" veteranEgo Nwodimis hosting the celebration of independent film and television, which will be livestreamed on YouTube starting at 5 p.m. ET.

Top nominees going into the 41st edition of the show include Ira Sachs' "Peter Hujar's Day," which recreates an interview with the 1970s photographer, played byBen Whishaw; Clint Bentley's lyrical Denis Johnson adaptation"Train Dreams,"with Joel Edgerton; and Eva Victor's"Sorry, Baby,"about life after an assault.

The show, which serves as a fundraiser for Film Independent's year-round programs, is being held at the Hollywood Palladium for the first time, as its longtime beachside perch in Santa Monica undergoes renovations.

The awards sometimes overlap significantly with major Oscar contenders and winners, as it did with"Anora,"and"Everything Everywhere All At Once,"and sometimes not. Organizers limit eligibility to productions with budgets less than $30 million, meaning more expensive films like "One Battle After Another" are not in the running.

Byrne is one of the few actors nominated for both a Spirit Awardand an Oscar, for her performance as a mother on the edge in Mary Bronstein's"If I Had Legs I'd Kick You."In the lead performance category, she's up against the likes of Edgerton ("Train Dreams"), Dylan O'Brien ("Twinless"), Palmer ("One of Them Days"), Tessa Thompson("Hedda")and Whishaw. The organization switched to gender-neutral acting categories in 2022.

Supporting performance nominees include Naomi Ackie ("Sorry, Baby"), Zoey Deutch("Nouvelle Vague"), Kirsten Dunst ("Roofman"), Nina Hoss ("Hedda") and Archie Madekwe("Lurker").

Films nominated in the international category include"Sirāt,""The Secret Agent"and "On Becoming a Guinea Fowl.""Come See Me in the Good Light,""My Undesirable Friends: Part I — Last Air in Moscow" and "The Perfect Neighbor" are also up for the documentary prize.

Hawke, who is nominated for an Oscar for "Blue Moon," is up for a Spirit Award for his leading performance in the television series "The Lowdown," where other nominees include Seth Rogen for "The Studio," Stephen Graham for "Adolescence" and Noah Wyle for "The Pitt."

Jennifer Lawrence has 1 regret about hosting “SNL” with walking pneumonia that has nothing to do with being sick

February 14, 2026
Jennifer Lawrence on 'SNL' in 2013 NBC

Jennifer Lawrencewants a re-do as host onSaturday Night Live,and it's not just because she had walking pneumonia during the show.

Lawrence, who hostedSNLon Jan. 19, 2013, was known for her quirky, relatable attitude during her ascent to the A-list. It was a lot of pressure to keep up with people's expectations, as she was working onThe Hunger Games: Catching Fireand doing press forSilver Linings Playbookat the time. She admitted toAmy Poehlerthat she was "very tired" from all of the activity.

"I would have to like fly, go to a party, shake hands, and then land and, you know, shoot. Like, poor me," she said sarcastically on theGood Hangpodcast.

When she finally got toSNL,she recalled being too nonchalant. At 22, Lawrence said she was a "bad age" for the hosting gig. Now, she's hoping for a second chance to redeem herself on the show.

"You get asked like, 'Can you do any impressions or anything?' And I was like, 'No,'" Lawrence said with an exaggerated affectation of apathy. "Like I don't want to be like, 'And I can do this and I can do that.' I just kind of made everything like everybody else's problem. I was like, 'I don't know how to do that. I can't do that.'

While Poehler had already left the show by this time, focusing onParks and Recreation,she agreed that it was hard for young people to go onSNL. She asked Lawrence if she would be interested in doing more comedy work now.
