The 2018 Film Independent Spirit Awards nominations have been announced, and the critically acclaimed Call Me By Your Name leads the pack with six nods in total, including Best Picture, Director, Actor, Supporting Actor, Cinematography, and Editing. Luca Guadagnino’s sensual masterpiece has been a critical darling ever since it debuted at Sundance earlier this year, and the film is now getting its awards season off in grand fashion. But not far behind is Jordan Peele’s completely different but also masterful social thriller Get Out, which scored five nods in total including Best Director and Screenplay for Peele, as well as Best Picture, Actor, and Editing.

The Film Independent Spirit Awards hail the very best in independent moviemaking, but they’ve also become an unlikely Oscar precursor in recent years. The last four Best Feature winners in a row at the Spirit Awards have gone on to win the Best Picture Oscar. It likely has something to do with the similarity in large voting bodies, so yeah, if you look at this list of Best Feature nominees there’s a more-than-zero chance you’ll find your eventual Best Picture winner.

Overall I’m thrilled by the love for Call Me By Your Name, especially Armie Hammer’s well-deserved recognition for a subtle performance that I hope doesn’t go unnoticed throughout the rest of the season. I’m also enthused about Barry Keoghan’s Supporting Actor nomination for his unforgettable turn in The Killing of a Sacred Deer, as well as the recognition for the impeccable ensemble of Mudbound.

Check out the full list of nominations below. The 2018 Independent Spirit Awards will air live on IFC on Sunday, March 3, 2018, hosted by John Mulaney and Nick Kroll.
