Romance film leads Indie Spirit nods
The romantic coming-of-age film “Call Me by Your Name” has a leading six Film Independent Spirit Award nominations, followed by Jordan Peele’s satirical horror “Get Out” and the Robert Pattinson thriller “Good Time” with five nominations each.
Actresses Tessa Thompson and Lily Collins announced the nominees Tuesday.
Luca Guadagnino’s “Call Me by Your Name,” a lush romance set in 1980s Italy, was also recognized for directing, cinematography and editing. Peele picked up directing and screenplay nods for “Get Out.”
“Get Out” and “Call Me by Your Name” are competing for best feature alongside Sean Baker’s “The Florida Project,” Greta Gerwig’s “Lady Bird” and Chloe Zhao’s cowboy drama “The Rider.” For the past four years, the Indie Spirit best-feature winner has matched the Oscar best picture winner.
In the acting categories, best male lead has Timothee Chalamet (“Call Me by Your Name”) and Daniel Kaluuya (“Get Out”) up against James Franco for “The Disaster Artist,” Pattinson for “Good Time” and Harris Dickinson for “Beach Rats.”
Nominees for best female lead include Saoirse Ronan for “Lady Bird,” Margot Robbie for “I, Tonya,” Frances McDormand for “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri,” Salma Hayek for “Beatriz at Dinner,” Shinobu Terajima for “Oh Lucy!” and Regina Williams for “Life and Nothing More.”
Winners will be revealed March 3.
