La Award Season che ci condurrà alla cerimonia degli Oscar del 2 marzo 2025 è ufficialmente iniziata. Dopo Gotham Awards, New York Film Critics Circle Awards, Independent Spirit Awards, National Board of Review, European Film Awards, Golden Globe e candidature ai 97esimi Academy Awards, iniziano ad arrivare i premi delle maggiori gilde statunitensi come Critics’ Choice Awards, PGA Awards e DGA Awards, estremamente influenti in ottica Academy Awards. Tra questi, sono appena stati svelati i vincitori degli Independent Spirit Awards 2025, gli annuali riconoscimenti al cinema indipendente ed a basso budget statunitense. Anora trionfa come miglior film e si avvicina sempre di più ad un trionfo ai prossimi premi Oscar ma, a spuntarla come miglior sceneggiatura, è A Real Pain che, ai 97esimi Academy Awards, insidierà proprio l’opera di Sean Baker. A livello televisivo, solite conferme per Baby Reindeer e Shōgun. A seguire, tutti i vincitori degli Independent Spirit Awards 2025.
