In possible Oscar preview, ‘Nomadland’ wins at Spirit Awards
Associated PressChloé Zhao’s “Nomadland” won best feature at the 36th Independent Spirit Awards in a ceremony that turned the annual beach soiree into a virtual, mostly pre-taped event, and, possibly, an Oscar preview. Yuh-Jung Youn, the Academy Awards favorite, won best supporting female actor for “Minari.” Paul Raci, the 72-year-old veteran working actor who’s soaked up his moment in the sun, won best supporting male actor for “Sound of Metal.” Emerald Fennell, the writer-director, of “Promising Young Woman,” took best screenplay. In one twist, best male lead actor went to Riz Ahmed for his performance in “Sound of Metal” — an award that has usually gone this year to the late Chadwick Boseman for his final performance in “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.” Carey Mulligan took best lead female actor in the category that’s perhaps most up for grabs at the Academy Awards. Best first film went to Darius Marder’s “Sound of Metal.” The Spirit Awards also this year began expanding into television.
