Nomadland is the clear front-runner of this year’s award season and it further solidified its Oscar chances at the Independent Spirit Awards. It topped the list of winners with a total of three awards, and it was closely followed by Sound of Metal with three trophies.

Nomadland managed to beat the likes of First Cow, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, Minari, and Never Rarely Sometimes Always to win the biggest award of the night—best feature. Chloé Zhao picked up awards for directing and editing the film, while Joshua James Richards won the best cinematography.

Sound of Metal was also amongst the major winners with a total of three trophies—best male lead (Riz Ahmed), best supporting male (Paul Raci), and best first feature (Darius Marder). Promising Young Woman was right behind with two awards—best female lead (Carey Mulligan) and best screenplay (Emerald Fennell).

What made this year’s Independent Spirit Awards ceremony different was the introduction of TV categories. I May Destroy You led the way in this field with two awards for best new scripted series and best ensemble cast, while Unorthodox dominated acting categories.

The 36th Independent Spirit Awards took place on April 22nd, with Melissa Villaseñor serving as host.
