Ira Sachs’ \u201cPeter Hujar\u2019s Day,\u201d which recreates an interview with the 1970s photographer, led the Film Independent Spirit Awards nominations with five nods, including best feature, director, as well as lead and supporting performances for Ben Whishaw and Rebecca Hall. The organization announced nominees for the 41st edition of the show Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Several films followed with four nominations, including best feature and best director, like Clint Bentley\u2019s lyrical Denis Johnson adaptation \u201cTrain Dreams,\u201d and Eva Victor\u2019s \u201cSorry, Baby,\u201d about life after an assault. First features receiving four nods were \u201cBlue Sun Palace,\u201d \u201cOne of Them Days\u201d and \u201cLurker.\u201d <\/p>\n
James Sweeney\u2019s dark comedy \u201cTwinless” and \u201cThe Plague,\u201d which like \u201cTrain Dreams\u201d also stars Joel Edgerton, were also nominated for best feature.<\/p>\n
Edgerton was among the 10 best acting nominees, for \u201cTrain Dreams,\u201d alongside the likes of Rose Byrne (\u201cIf I Had Legs I\u2019d Kick You\u201d), Dylan O\u2019Brien (\u201cTwinless\u201d), Keke Palmer (\u201cOne of Them Days\u201d), Tessa Thompson (\u201cHedda\u201d) and Whishaw, who was also nominated for the Netflix series \u201cBlack Doves.\u201d The organization switched to gender neutral acting categories in 2022.<\/p>\n
Supporting performance nominees include: Naomi Ackie (\u201cSorry, Baby\u201d), Zoey Deutch ( \u201cNouvelle Vague\u201d ), Kirsten Dunst (\u201cRoofman\u201d), Nina Hoss (\u201cHedda\u201d), Jane Levy (\u201cA Little Prayer\u201d), Archie Madekwe (\u201cLurker\u201d), Kali Reis (\u201cRebuilding\u201d), Jacob Tremblay (\u201cSovereign\u201d) and Haipeng Xu (\u201cBlue Sun Palace\u201d).<\/p>\n
The Robert Altman Award, for one film\u2019s directing, ensemble and casting, went to the Stephen King adaptation \u201cThe Long Walk,\u201d with Mark Hamill, Cooper Hoffman and David Jonsson.<\/p>\n
Among the international film nominees were \u201cSir\u0101t,\u201d \u201cThe Secret Agent\u201d and \u201cOn Becoming a Guinea Fowl.\u201d Documentaries recognized include \u201cCome See Me in the Good Light,\u201d \u201cMy Undesirable Friends: Part I \u2014 Last Air in Moscow,\u201d \u201cThe Perfect Neighbor,” \u201cThe Tale of Silyan\u201d and \u201cEndless Cookie.\u201d <\/p>\n This image released by Netflix shows Joel Edgerton in a scene from “Train Dreams.” Credit: AP\/Uncredited<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n The Spirit Awards also honor television shows, where \u201cAdolescence,\u201d \u201cForever\u201d and \u201cMr Loverman\u201d led with four nominations each. The organization said its nominees hailed from 18 different countries, with 41% identifying as women.<\/p>\n Sometimes the Spirit Awards overlap significantly with major Oscar contenders and winners, as it did with \u201cAnora,\u201d and the \u201cEverything Everywhere All At Once\u201d year, and sometimes not. The awards limit eligibility to productions with budgets less than $30 million, meaning more expensive productions like \u201cOne Battle After Another\u201d were not in the running.<\/p>\n The 41st edition of the Spirit Awards will be leaving its longtime home near the Santa Monica Pier for the Hollywood Palladium. The show, which serves as a fundraiser for Film Independent\u2019s year-round programs, will be held on Feb. 15, nearly a month before the Oscars.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.newsday.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ira Sachs’ \u201cPeter Hujar\u2019s Day,\u201d which recreates an interview with the 1970s photographer, led the Film Independent Spirit Awards nominations with five nods, including best feature, director, as well as lead and supporting performances for Ben Whishaw and Rebecca Hall.
