Film Review
Get Out Wins Best Feature Film at the 33rd
Annual Film Independent Spirit Awards
By Morgan Rojas

As if right on cue, the sun broke through the
foreboding rain clouds just as the red carpet
opened at the 33rd annual Film Independent
Spirit Awards. Located steps away from the
Santa Monica Pier, the event takes place just
one day before Hollywood’s biggest night – the
Academy Awards. But unlike the pressure of
the Oscars, the vibe of the Spirit Awards is
much more relaxed due to its purpose-driven
mission: to celebrate independently produced
and artist-driven films made outside of the
rigid and often political big studio system.

talent attached, all of the films recognized at
the Spirit Awards have one thing in common:
they all embody diversity, innovation and
uniqueness of vision. My brother Ryan and
I had the opportunity to cover the awards
ceremony, both on the red carpet and in the
press room (for our video interview, visit
www.cinemacy.com.)
Comedians Nick Kroll and John Mulaney
returned to co-host the event, which was
broadcast live on the IFC channel with audiences
tuning in from 56 countries. The NYC
indie rock trio Sunflower Bean was this year’s
house band, and their dreamy and melodic
guitar tunes kept the energy at an all-time
high (even with the show running 30 minutes
over its scheduled time).
Over the past three years, the films that
won Best Picture at the Independent Spirit
Awards would also go on to win Best Picture
at the Oscars the next day, including Moonlight,
Spotlight and Birdman. This year, Get
Out took home the honors and accepting the
award was the film’s director Jordan Peele,
who also won the event’s Best Director award.
That statistic would end this year, however, as
The Shape of Water wound up winning Best
Feature at the Oscars.
Voters awarded Best Male Lead to 22-yearold
Timothée Chalamet for his performance
as Elio in the breathtaking drama Call Me
by Your Name. Sweeping the awards circuit
since the very beginning, the Best Female
Lead went to Frances McDormand for her
performance as the no-nonsense Mildred in
Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri.
Sam Rockwell took home the Best Supporting
Male award for his performance as goofy cop
Dixon in Three Billboards, with Best Supporting
Female going to Allison Janney for her
captivating performance as the critical and
cruel LaVona in I, Tonya. No surprise here.
McDormand, Rockwell and Janney would all
go on to be honored at the Oscars for these
performances as well.
Other notable awards went to Lady Bird’s
Greta Gerwig for Best Screenplay, The
Big Sick’s Emily V. Gordon and Kumail
Nanjiani for Best First Screenplay, and Ingrid
Goes West’s Matt Spicer for Best First Feature.
The Robert Altman Award, which is given to
an ensemble cast, director, and casting director
of a film considered to be a “maverick”
of the year, went to Mudbound. Director Dee
Rees gave an electrifying acceptance speech
that left the room speechless, and star of the
film Garrett Hedlund literally dropped her mic
after she spoke to signify the importance and
strength of her words.
Judging by the passion and perseverance for
positive change displayed at last Saturday’s event,
the power of independent cinema is not only
stronger now than ever before, but truly
demonstrates its ability to tell these original
stories that can impact – and even change –
the world. •

the dinner, the theatre admission
and the babysitter were worth it.”

ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: Pursuant to State
California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
Guidelines Sections 15321, (Enforcement
Actions by Regulatory Agencies) and 15305
(Minor Alterations in Land Use Limitations) These
provisions, respectively, exempt projects by
regulatory agencies to enforce a rule, standard,
or objective, administered or adopted by the
regulatory agency and minor alterations in land
use limitations in areas with an average slope
of less than 20%, which do not result in any
changes in land use or density. The Project
would implement the adopted NCP, which was
prepared to comply with Part 150 of Title 14,
Code of Federal Regulations and the Airport
Master Plan. The Project would incorporate the
65 CNEL noise contours and an airport overlay
on properties near the Airport with slopes that
are less than 20% and will not change the
underlying land use or density. The Project will
describe the non-compatible land uses around
the Airport based upon Federal regulations,
address measures to reduce the impact of
noise, ensure proper disclosure, and prevent
the introduction of new noise-sensitive uses
within the 65 CNEL noise contour of the Airport.

Code Section 65009: In an action or
proceeding to attack, review, set aside, void,
