The complete list of winners at the 2024 Film Independent Spirit Awards

The 2024 awards season just keeps rolling on. The 39th Film Independent Spirit Awards were held at Santa Monica Pier in California on Sunday, hot on the heels of the Screen Actors Guild Awards the evening prior. However, this year's awards were a little different. Rather than just celebrate independent films and filmmakers, the 2024 Spirit Awards also recognised achievements in television — only the fourth time this has happened in the awards' almost 40-year history.

Beef took two of these rare television awards, namely Best New Scripted Series and Best Lead Performance in a New Scripted Series for Ali Wong. Meanwhile, The Last Of Us' Nick Offerman picked up Best Supporting Performance in a New Scripted Series for his performance in the series' heart-wrenching third episode. Comedy series Jury Duty was a shoo-in for Best Ensemble Cast in a New Scripted Series, because it was also the only nominee.

Despite the Spirit Awards' foray into television, the evening was still dominated by film. Past Lives, American Fiction, and May December led the nominations with five each, but it was The Holdovers that came out on top, winning three of the four categories in which it was nominated. The others didn't leave empty handed, though. Past Lives scooped up some big awards, taking both Best Feature and Best Director, while American Fiction won Best Lead Performance and Best Screenplay, and May December was awarded Best First Screenplay.

Here is the full list of nominees and winners from the 2024 Film Independent Spirit Awards. Winners in each category have been bolded. You can catch up with the awards ceremony on Film Independent's YouTube channel.
