This afternoon, Film Independent honored the winners of the 2024 Film Independent Spirit Awards, as voted on by their members. Alexander Payne’s The Holdovers took home three total wins, while Celine Song’s debut feature Past Lives took home the top prizes of Best Feature and Best Director.
Hosted by SNL alum Aidy Bryant, the event also saw dual wins for HBO’s The Last of Us and Netflix’s Beef on the TV Side, capping off an impressive weekend for both after last night’s SAG wins.
