Aidy Bryant took on her first ever awards show hosting gig yesterday for the 2024 Film Independent Spirit Awards, and her opening monologue made quite the impact!

At Sunday’s Independent Spirit Awards, actor Nick Offerman addressed “homophobic hate” aimed over the past year at “Long, Long Time,” the stand-alone episode of HBO‘s post-apocalyptic drama The Last of Us that he starred in with Murray Bartlett and that earned Offerman a win today for Best Supporting Performance in a New Scripted Series.

The most fun awards show of all returned to the giant tent on Santa Monica Beach as the 2024 Film Independent Spirit Awards crowned “Past Lives” as Best Feature, and Celine Song won Best Director. Hosted by Aidy Bryant, the almost always irreverent ceremony also saw one “Free Gaza” protester scream on a megaphone about a third of the way into the ceremony.  READ MORE: “Oppenheimer” wins Best Film and Best Actor and Dominates The 2024 BAFTA Awards After taking a SAG Award last night, Da’Vine Joy Randolph took yet another Supporting Performance for “The Holdovers.” The Focus Features release also took Best Cinematography, while Dominic Sessa took Best Breakthrough Performance.

Awards season is continuing with the 2024 Film Independent Spirit Awards, an afternoon event on the beach!

William Earl administrator This year’s Independent Spirit Awards faced a major broadcast hurdle as a Pro-Palestinian protestor with a speaker and a prerecorded message blared out many of the presenters and winners onstage. The protestor became obvious to at-home audiences when Jim Gaffigan presented “Jury Duty” the award for best ensemble cast in a new scripted series. The rhythm of Gaffigan’s introduction was stilted as microphones picked up the muffled messaging from outside.

SNL alum Aidy Bryant made her debut as host of the Independent Spirit Awards this afternoon in a speech that dinged the strike, AI, the indie world and past boyfriends obsessed with it. Bryant confessed that she’d try and do some “classic roasting” in the room, and that resulted in her calling stars like Greta Lee and Natalie Portman a “stupid bit**”.
