Independent Spirit Awards 2019, le nomination – We the Animals davanti a tutti

Sono state annunciate le nomination agli Independent Spirit Awards, premi cinematografici statunitensi che sostengono e promuovono il cinema indipendente, ovvero tutti quei film realizzati con un tetto massimo di 20 milioni di dollari. Negli ultimi anni gli Independent Spirit Awards hanno sempre più acquisito maggiore importanza, anche in ottica Oscar, visto e considerato che Moonlight (2017), Spotlight (2016), Birdman (2015) e 12 anni Schiavo (2014) erano tutti passati di qui, prima di trionfare in casa Academy.

A guidare la classifica delle nomination con 5 candidature è We the Animals di Jeremiah Zagar, seguito da Eighth Grade, First Reformed e You Were Never Really Here a quota 4. Insieme a If Beale Street Could Talk, che ha ottenuto 3 candidature, e a Leave no Trace, questi ultimi 5 titoli si contenderanno il premio più ambito. C’è anche Suspiria di Luca Guadagnino, a cui verrà assegnato il Robert Altman Award, candidato per la fotografia di Sayombhu Mukdeeprom, così come Lazzaro Felice, in corsa come miglior film straniero a dispetto di Dogman, nostro nominato agli Oscar.

Roma di Alfonso Cuaron, in quanto produzione straniera, è stato nominato solo tra i film ‘non in lingua inglese’. A guidare le candidature la A24, con 12 nomination, seguita da Amazon Studios, Netflix e The Orchard, a quota sei, e da Annapurna Pictures, con 5. I 34esimi Spirit Awards andranno in onda il 23 febbraio prossimo. A vincere lo scorso anno fu Scappa – Get Out.
