Independent Spirit Awards 2019 - le nomination

La stagione dei premi si avvicina, e come sempre ad aprire le danze sono le nomination ai Film Independent Spirit Awards 2019, il premio più importante del Cinema indipendente USA (sotto i 20 milioni di dollari di budget), assegnato dalla Film Independent (associazione no profit a sostegno dell'arte).

A guidare le nomination è il film We the Animals, che ha ricevuto 5 candidature ma non quella per il miglior film. Quattro le nomination per i film Eight Grade, First Reformed, e You Were Never Really Here.
Tra le attrici candidate, spiccano le nomination di Glenn Close (The Wife) e Toni Collette (Hereditary), due nomi che potremmo (speriamo) ritrovare anche agli Oscar. Tra gli attori, nomination per Joaquin Phoenix per il film You Were Never Really Here, con cui ha vinto il premio come la migliore interpretazione maschile a Cannes 2017.

C'è spazio anche per l'Italia. Suspiria di Luca Guadagnino è stato nominato nella sezione miglior fotografia, ma riceverà anche il Robert Altman Award, un premio "generale" (cast, regia, ecc) al film. Infine, nella cinquina dei miglior film stranieri c'è anche Lazzaro Felice di Alice Rohrwacher, che dovrà vedersela con i due favoriti, Roma di Alfonso Cuaron e The Favourite di Yorgos Lanthimos.


La cerimonia di premiazione si svolgerà il prossimo 23 febbraio, la sera prima degli Oscar.
