Film Independent, the nonprofit organization dedicated to fostering independence and inclusivity in visual storytelling, announced this morning that, following a highly successful and memorable debut last year, comedian Aidy Bryant will once again take the stage to host the Film Independent Spirit Awards.
Last year, Celine Song’s Past Lives took the top awards for Best Feature and Best Director, while The Last of Us and Beef both took home two awards on the television side. Bryant referred to the show as the “bisexual Oscars” and, at one point, donned an oversized t-shirt dedicated to May December‘s Charles Melton.
Honoring the best of independent cinema and television, the 2025 Spirit Awards will also mark the 40th anniversary of the awards. Celebrating four decades of excellence, these awards serve as the cornerstone fundraiser for Film Independent’s year-round initiatives.
The awards nominees will be announced on Wednesday, December 4, 2024 at 7:00 am PT at filmindependent.org. Winners will be revealed at the awards show on Saturday, February 22, 2025 and will be streamed live on the IMDb and Film Independent YouTube channels, and across other social platforms, beginning at 2:00 pm PT.
