The Spirit Awards have been getting lower and lower ratings for years. They bounce around at the level of 60,000 viewers.
The result is they’ve been dropped by the IFC Channel and have no broadcast home. No more big show. It’s over.
Now the Spirit Awards will stream only, on the IFC streaming channel and IMDB.com. That’s pretty disappointing. But the Spirit Awards have kind of done to this themselves over the years. The glory days of John Waters as host and really great movies getting attention are long in the past.
Hasan Minhaj will host the show on Saturday, March 4th. “Everything Everywhere All at Once” should be the big winner, setting up the Oscar winner as something else entirely.
