With less than a week until The Film Independent Spirit Awards Ceremony, let’s take a look at the nomination list.
Spring is always an exciting time for film fans because of the abundance of award shows. Coming up this week is the Film Independent Spirit Awards Ceremony, which celebrates the independent and lower-budget filmmakers of the year.
The official ceremony will take place on March 4, 2023, at 5:00 p.m. EST, and will be held at the Santa Monica Pier in Santa Monica, California.
