Patti Harrison, Simon Rex, and Taylour Paige become first-time Spirit Awards nominees
The 37th Film Independent Spirit Awards ceremony is happening on March 6
It’s often speculated that the Spirit Awards nominations are a good indication of who can go on to be nominated for an Oscar. So, now that Patti Harrison, Taylour Paige, and Dirt Nasty Simon Rex are first-time Spirit Award nominees, there’s hope that they’ll get their due at the Academy Awards, too. The Film Independent Spirit Awards shared its list of nominees for the 37th ceremony happening on March 6, 2022, and there’s a clear frontrunner this time around: Zola.
Zola, A24's biggest flick of the year, got the most nominations, with chances of winning Best Feature, Best Female Lead, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography, and Best Editing. C’mon C’mon and Red Rocket, also on A24's 2021 roster, received plenty of nominations, too.
Additionally, Emma Seligman’s critically acclaimed Shiva Baby is up for a John Cassavetes Award and Maggie Gyllenhaal’s adaptation of Elena Ferrante’s The Lost Daughter is also up for multiple awards, including Best Feature and Best Director.
