Only 46,000 people watched the Independent Spirit Awards on You Tube yesterday.
That’s less than 10% of the people who watched Pedro Pascal’s drunk acceptance speech on Saturday at the SAG Awards.
“Past Lives” won Best Feature. Jeffrey Wright and Da’Vine Joy Randolph won Best Lead and Supporting performances, respectively. Stupid gender free awards means there’s only one award in each category. No the opportunities for the actors to win is cut in half.
The Spirit Awards long ago lost their relevance or interest. They were finally taken off of TV because the ratings had dwindled to nothing. They’re sad sign of the decline of indie filmmaking. Next year they will probably be shown on a Samsung smart watch.
But congrats to all the winners! “Past Lives” is a lovely movie. Wright and Randolph gave beautiful performances. So that’s something.
