2017 Film Independent Spirit Awards Live Stream: Watch Online
By Buckie Wells
It’s time for the 2017 Independent Spirit Awards and we’ve got all the details you need to watch the Independent Spirit Awards online.
This weekend, awards season hits its peak with the Academy Awards. Naturally, the shows leading up to the big day all merit their own prestige. More importantly, many shows preceding the Oscars are dedicated to specific aspects of the industry that would otherwise be ignored under a spotlight shared with the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio, or this year’s favorites like La La Land, Moonlight, and Hidden Figures.
Obviously, as the name suggests, the Independent Spirit Awards focus on the indie films. But not just any indie, but the best of the best. The best budgeted, especially.
To qualify for the Independent Spirit Awards, check out the exact dollar amount that sets you apart:
"In addition to being a fantastic party, the Spirit Awards ceremony brings together top talent from Hollywood and throughout the independent film world. Awards are given for Best Feature, Best First Feature, Best Feature Made for Under $500,000 (the John Cassavetes Award) and many more."
Each year, indie gurus gather at Santa Monica Pier. They drink, relax and spend a few hours basking in the glow of anti-mainstream deliverance.
To be clear, it’s not like the Independent Spirit Awards only reward obscure films. Many of the entries nominated here also appear at the Oscars. For example, either Manchester by the Sea or Moonlight is capable of bringing home Best Picture at the Academy Awards.
