Traditionally, the Spirit Awards are held the day before the Oscars. But this year, as you can see, they pushed them way back. That means they may be somewhat influential if there is any crossover. There is not much. But it could boost one movie as far as I can tell. That would be Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Lost Daughter, as it’s the only one that landed in the Oscar race. There are a few others. They are in bold below.
The Spirit Awards will air today at 2pm Pacific and 5pm Eastern on IFC’s channel. We will keep track of them here.
