The 2019 Spirit and Razzie Awards

Josh Zyber — Tue, 26 Feb 2019 13:00:33 +0000

Wrapping up the awards season hoopla, the Independent Spirit Awards and the Razzies both also handed out trophies this weekend. The Spirits did a decent job of offering concession prizes to movies that Oscar would pass over, while the Razzies remain difficult to care much about. Spirit Awards I think the assumption that Roma would...

The 2018 Spirit and Razzie Awards

Josh Zyber — Tue, 06 Mar 2018 13:00:45 +0000

After four consecutive years of simply mirroring the Oscars’ Best Picture pick, the Independent Spirit Awards actually attempted to follow their mission this year and rewarded a different movie that Oscar passed over. Meanwhile, the Razzies are still a thing that happens for some reason. Spirit Awards Jordan Peele and ‘Get Out’ were the big...

The 2017 Spirit & Razzie Awards

Josh Zyber — Tue, 28 Feb 2017 13:00:00 +0000

For the fourth year in a row, the Independent Spirit Awards gave the top trophy to the same movie that would win a Best Picture Oscar on the following night. For the first time in possibly ever, the Razzie Awards did something kind of interesting. Spirit Awards I’ve grumbled before and will no doubt do...

The 2016 Spirit & Razzie Awards

Josh Zyber — Tue, 01 Mar 2016 14:00:16 +0000

The Oscars may not have given out any awards to black people this weekend, but at least the Spirit Awards weren’t afraid to. In other news, the Razzies continue to be a pointless waste of time. Spirit Awards I’ve given the Spirit Awards plenty of grief in recent years. What should allegedly be a celebration...

Statuesque: The 2015 Spirit & Razzie Awards

Josh Zyber — Tue, 24 Feb 2015 17:00:10 +0000

Though you undoubtedly had little reason to notice, the Oscars actually weren’t the only movie awards handed out over the weekend. As per tradition, the Independent Spirit Awards and the Razzies both continued to demonstrate their ever-growing irrelevance. Independent Spirit Awards Originally intended as a celebration of the small indie films that other award ceremonies...

Statuesque: The 2013 Also-Ran Awards – Spirits & Razzies

Josh Zyber — Thu, 28 Feb 2013 14:00:20 +0000

While the world turned its eyes to the Oscars this past weekend, a couple of the film industry’s alternative awards ceremonies – the Spirits and Razzies – also pressed on, even though no one pays any attention to them anymore. Honestly, I forgot all about them until just now. As originally conceived, the Independent Spirit...

Statuesque: Independent Spirit Awards 2012

Josh Zyber — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 18:00:51 +0000

Amidst all the hubbub about the Academy Awards, you might be forgiven for forgetting that the Independent Spirit Awards also took place over the weekend. Certainly, Hollywood seems to have forgotten about them. Once a hipper, edgier alternative to the Oscars, one designed to reward the smaller films that Oscar ignored, the Spirit Awards ceremony...

Statueseque: Independent Spirit Awards 2011

Drew Taylor — Wed, 02 Mar 2011 16:00:45 +0000

The Independent Spirit Awards have, in recent years, been stealing more and more of the thunder from their big brother counterpart, the Oscars. (The Spirit Awards take place the night before.) This year pretty much sealed the deal. The awards distributed were much more deserved, and the show was much more fun. This year, ‘Black...
