]]> This year’s awards season is almost over, and we’re at the point where nothing can surprise us anymore – but the list of winners at the Writers Guild Awards somehow managed to do so. Despite all odds, Eighth Grade and Can You Ever Forgive Me? managed to snag top honors at this ceremony.

Bo Burnham won the best original screenplay award with his first feature film Eighth Grade, beating the likes of several front-runners, including Green Book and Roma.

Nicole Holofcener and Jeff Whitty also managed to pull an upset in the best-adapted screenplay category, and come up victorious despite going against the writers of BlacKkKlansman and A Star Is Bor.

The winners of the TV categories proved to be much more predictable, and the top awards went to The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (best comedy) and The Americans (best drama), while HBO’s dark comedy Barry took home the award for best new series.

]]> It’s that time of the year when we all go crazy making our Oscars predictions, and other award ceremonies are there to provide us with some clarity. If Gotham Awards are to be trusted, First Reformed and Eighth Grade are dark horses we should look out for, since they both collected two awards at this ceremony.

Ethan Hawke, who is a long shot for an Oscar award for best actor this year, collected the award in that same category for his masterful performance in First Reformed. This critically acclaimed drama also received the award for best screenplay.

Eighth Grade claimed two awards thanks to its breakthrough stars – lead actress Elsie Fisher and director Bo Burnham. Despite their domination at this year’s Gotham Awards, these indie darlings failed to collect the prestigious best feature award. The Rider by Chloé Zhao came out victorious in this category.

Best Feature – The Rider

Best Actor – Ethan Hawke (First Reformed)

]]> Film Independent just released the full list of nominees for the latest edition of the Indie Spirit Awards – and it’s their most diverse group to date. We the Animals led the way with five nominations, thanks to nods in several technical categories, but failed to score one for the best feature.

Critically acclaimed dramas Eighth Grade, First Reformed and You Were Never Really Here received four nominations each. They’ll compete against If Beale Street Could Talk and Leave No Trace for the coveted best feature award.

Acting nods went to several Oscar contenders, including Regina King (Beale Street), Richard E. Grant (Can You Ever Forgive Me?) and Adam Driver (BlacKkKlansman) and a couple of more long shots. Many of the Oscar-contending films do not qualify for the Spirit Awards, but this ceremony has been a very good indicator of Academy Award success in the past.

The Independent Spirit Awards will air on February 23, 2019, with Nick Kroll and John Mulaney taking on hosting duty for the third time.
