La Film Independent Project ha appena annunciato le candidature degli Independent Spirit Awards 2016, i maggiori riconoscimenti del cinema low-budget statunitense.
Tradizionalmente riconosciute come le prime, grandi candidature cinematografiche prima della Awards Season, quest’anno hanno riservato parecchie sorprese nelle cinquine.
A dominare in termini di candidature Moonlight di Barry Jenkins e, un po a sorpresa, American Honey di Andrea Arnold, già vincitore a Maggio del Premio della Giuria a Cannes. Segue con 5 Nomination Manchester By The Sea che però viene sorprendentemente snobbato in due categorie chiave: Miglior Regia per Kenneth Lonergan e Miglior Attrice Non Protagonista a Michelle Williams; a sorprendere anche l’assenza totale tra le cinquine attoriali di interpreti del pluricandidato film di Jenkins che però già gioisce con l’assegnato e prestigioso Robert Altman Award a tutto lo straordinario Cast.
Grandi conferme anche per Jackie (tra cui Nomination a Film, Regia e Attrice Protagonista) e delusione per l’indie hit Hell or High Water che non soltanto non riceve candidature né al Film e alla Regia, ma gli viene preferito in Supporting l’ottimo Ben Foster rispetto al più quotato Jeff Bridges.
Come da tradizione, gli Independent Spirit Awards saranno assegnati Sabato 25 Febbraio 2017, un giorno prima della Cerimonia degli Oscar.
Ecco tutti i candidati, categoria per categoria:
