‘Everything Everywhere’ Wins Best Feature at the Independent Spirit Awards (Full List)

The blue carpet rolled out on Saturday and many of the year’s best independent films and TV series were recognized in Santa Barbara, California.

Everything Everywhere All At Once swept the 38th Independent Spirit Awards as it took home seven awards for Best Feature, both Best Director and Best Screenplay for Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, Best Lead Performance for Michelle Yeoh, Best Supporting Performance for Ke Huy Quan, Best Breakout Performance for Stephanie Hsu, and Best Editing for Paul Rogers.

This is the first year of the Spirit Awards adopting a gender-neutral approach to its performance categories, meaning that Michelle Yeoh competed for Best Lead Performance against Cate Blanchett (TÁR), Paul Mescal (Aftersun), and Jeremy Pope (The Inspection) in the same category. Ke Huy Quan also competed against co-star Jamie Lee Curtis, Gabrielle Union (The Inspection), and Nina Hoss (TÁR) in the Best Supporting Performance category, in which the former won.

Other winners include Florian Hoffmeister for Best Cinematography for TÁR, Charlotte Wells’ Aftersun for Best First Feature, John Patton Ford for Best First Screenplay for Emily the Criminal, Laura Poitras’ All the Beauty and the Bloodshed for Best Documentary, Saim Sadiq’s Joyland for Best International Film, Ricky D’Ambrose’s The Cathedral for the John Cassavetes Award, Nikyatu Jusu (Nanny) taking home the Someone to Watch Award, Reid Davenport’s documentary I Didn’t See You There for the Truer Than Fiction Award, and Women Talking for the Robert Altman Award.
