‘Call Me by Your Name’ leads Independent Spirit Awards nominations

Share

Luca Guadagnino’s romantic drama “Call Me by Your Name” leads the nominations for the 2018 Film Independent Spirit Awards, earning six nods when the nominees were announced Tuesday.

Crime thriller “Good Time” and Jordan Peele’s directorial debut, “Get Out,” tied with five nominations apiece, while Greta Gerwig’s “Lady Bird” and Chloé Zhao’s “The Rider” tied with four nominations each. Those films, along with childhood drama “The Florida Project,” will vie for the best-feature film prize at the 33rd annual award show in March.

Director Ava DuVernay, who helmed “Selma,” “13th” and “A Wrinkle in Time,” will serve as this year’s honorary chair.

“Mudbound,” which examines the intertwined lives of black and white families in rural Mississippi leading up to and after World War II, was selected for the Robert Altman Award. That prize will be given to the film’s director, Dee Rees, casting director and ensemble cast, which includes Jonathan Banks, Mary J. Blige, Jason Clarke, Garrett Hedlund, Jason Mitchell, Rob Morgan and Carey Mulligan.

The awards show takes place March 3 (the day before the Academy Awards) and will be broadcast live on IFC. Comedians Nick Kroll and John Mulaney will co-host the festivities on the beach in Santa Monica, just north of the Santa Monica Pier.
