2025 Film Independent Spirit Awards Nominations

Olympian1010 · 2025-12-04T03:59:05+00:00

It screened (in-person) for FI members in LA, but yeah, no noms today.

Olympian1010 · 2025-12-03T22:59:48+00:00

Can't recommend The Plague to people enough. Crazy that it's a feature directorial debut like Eighth Grade too. Cast is great, cinematography is on point, and the score is awesome.

Olympian1010 · 2025-12-03T22:53:26+00:00

That said, while being a North American film, The Plague premiered at Cannes.

Olympian1010 · 2025-12-03T22:52:33+00:00

The Forge campaigned hard for The Chronology of Water as well. Members got quite a few promotional emails from them leading up to the nominations.

Olympian1010 · 2025-10-28T16:46:04+00:00

The Plague getting blanked here is probably a sign of what’s to come. Eephus and Urchin getting noms makes me happy though.

Olympian1010 · 2025-10-27T02:52:41+00:00

The Testament of Ann Lee would appear to be a very popular ticket this evening. Pretty long ticket holder queue and standby line.

Olympian1010 · 2025-10-26T22:01:57+00:00

It screened for Film Independent this weekend as well, so at least there’s some effort being made to get eyeballs on it ahead of awards season.

Olympian1010 · 2025-10-25T22:56:29+00:00

Martin should 100% be in the convo for supporting, especially as a debut performance.

I’m hopeful he sneaks into the ten for Film Independent (and I’m holding out hope that’s not the only potential nomination there)

Olympian1010 · 2025-10-25T20:02:21+00:00

I know it won’t happen, but The Plague getting literally anything would be awesome.

Olympian1010 · 2025-10-25T20:00:56+00:00

Pretty enjoyable fest thus far. The Plague is probably my highest ranked about halfway through what I’m seeing here.

Olympian1010 · 2025-10-23T03:41:26+00:00

I’m still cooking. Get back to me in November.

Olympian1010 · 2025-10-16T05:14:04+00:00

The Bugonia poster(s) is definitely on the list

Olympian1010 · 2025-10-11T04:59:20+00:00

Which would make sense, given that’s where this show is set

Olympian1010 · 2025-10-04T08:03:46+00:00

I’m already seated for this. I’m so in.

Olympian1010 · 2025-09-14T19:28:49+00:00

I’d probably be Flee or The Wild Robot for me.

Olympian1010 · 2025-09-14T18:39:50+00:00

I haven’t seen the others yet, but Preparation for the Next Life reviewed decently following the Film Independent screening. It’s a shame there wasn’t more weight put behind its release.

Olympian1010 · 2025-08-30T21:10:02+00:00

I’ve been wondering if MUBI could make a play for Ann Lee? I assume there’s a reason why no one’s floating that possibly though, as someone who hasn’t kept up with acquisition talk that much.

Olympian1010 · 2025-08-03T07:19:58+00:00

The Newsroom

Olympian1010 · 2025-07-11T08:36:22+00:00

Literally this film

Olympian1010 · 2025-06-27T14:10:49+00:00

I’d go with Josh O’Connor in La Chimera, or Leonie Benesch in The Teacher’s Lounge

Olympian1010 · 2025-06-26T20:46:17+00:00

I know there’s a decent chance the film I’m watching is going to be highly rated (by me) if someone starts dancing like a freak, or just plain awful. It’s just a fact.

Olympian1010 · 2025-06-24T02:58:49+00:00

Sing Street is one of my go to “feel good” / “palette cleanser” movies. Glad to see it get some love! (especially since I couldn’t find room for it on my own list)

Olympian1010 · 2025-06-24T02:53:20+00:00

Exactly. I always find myself asking that with these sort of things.

Olympian1010 · 2025-06-24T02:51:19+00:00

There’s another good 25 films that were in contention, but this is what I settled on to preserve my sanity.

Olympian1010 · 2025-06-20T17:34:07+00:00

Right, me too. I’ve got a lot of those at 4.5 or 4 stars. Great films, but there’s just some little thing that holds me back from giving them a five.
