Film Independent, the nonprofit arts organization that produces the Film Independent Spirit Awards, the LA Film Festival and Film Independent at LACMA, announced nominations for the 2016 Spirit Awards on November 24, 2015, in the heart of Hollywood. \u00a0Film Independent President Josh Welsh presided over the press conference held at W Hollywood, with actors John Boyega and Elizabeth Olsen presenting the nominations. Nominees for Best Feature included Anomalisa, Beasts of No Nation, Carol, Spotlight<\/em><\/strong> and Tangerine<\/em><\/strong>. \u00a0 \u00a0<\/em>By the time all the nominees had been announced, the big winner of the morning proved to be\u00a0Carol<\/em><\/strong>, picking up six nominations, including two for Best Lead Female which pits last year’s winner, Cate Blanchett, against her\u00a0Carol<\/em><\/strong> co-star Rooney Mara.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

“This year’s nominees are a testament to the strength, vitality and diversity of independent, artist-driven filmmaking,\u201d said Film Independent President Josh Welsh. \u201cIt\u2019s an astonishingly strong group of films and performances this year and we look forward to celebrating them all at the Spirit Awards.”<\/p>\n

SPOTLIGHT was selected to receive the Robert Altman Award, which is bestowed upon one film\u2019s director, casting director and ensemble cast. The Altman Award was created in 2008 in honor of legendary director Robert Altman who was known for creating extraordinary ensemble casts. \u201cSPOTLIGHT is a remarkable film that excels on every level, but the Nominating Committee thought it was especially deserving of the Robert Altman Award,\u201d said Welsh. \u201cThe film is beautifully cast with every member of the ensemble working together to tell the story of the Boston Globe investigating allegations of abuse in the Catholic Church.”<\/p>\n

Winners will be announced at the Spirit Awards on Saturday, February 27, 2016. The awards ceremony will be held as a daytime luncheon in a tent on the beach in Santa Monica, in a new location this year just north of the Santa Monica Pier. The show will broadcast live exclusively on IFC at 2:00 pm PT\/ 5:00 pm ET.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Winners of the Spirit Awards Filmmaker Grants will be highlighted during the awards ceremony and announced at the Film Independent Spirit Awards Filmmaker Grants and Nominee Brunch on Saturday, January 9, 2016, at BOA Steakhouse in West Hollywood.<\/p>\n

The Spirit Awards Nominating Committees selected nominees from 362 submissions this year and applied the following guidelines in determining the nominations: uniqueness of vision, original and provocative subject matter, economy of means (with particular attention paid to total production cost and individual compensation) and percentage of financing from independent sources. The Spirit Awards Nominating Committees are comprised of writers, directors, producers, cinematographers, editors, actors, critics, casting directors, film festival programmers and other working film professionals.<\/p>\n

In addition to celebrating the broad spectrum of independent filmmaking, the Spirit Awards is also the primary fundraiser for Film Independent\u2019s year-round programs, which cultivate the careers of emerging filmmakers and promote diversity in the industry.
