Mostra, Golden Globes, BAFTA… The film

Nomadland

by director Chloe Zhao continues its grand chelemen with a triumph on Thursday evening at the Film Independent Spirit Awards, a few days before the Oscars ceremony.

The Spirit Awards, awarded to low-budget independent films in the United States, are just the latest to recognize this film about a community of elderly Americans who became nomads after losing everything in the global financial crisis.

Soon the Oscars… then Marvel!

Sacred best film, Nomadland also won the awards for best director, best editing and best cinematography.

Which are in addition to the dozens of awards he has accumulated over the past few months.

The Spirit Awards are the penultimate stop on the circuit that ends with the Oscars, which will take place - on location, not virtual - in Los Angeles in three days.

If she won the Oscar for Best Picture, Zhao would become the second female director to earn this award.

Receiving her Spirit Award, Chloe Zhao, who rose to prominence with small independent films, thanked "the independent film community".

“We wouldn't be here without you,” she added.

A community that she will leave with her next film,

Eternals

, a new production of Marvel superheroes.

Carey Mulligan and Riz Ahmed honored

Besides

Nomadland

, two other films have won the Spirit Awards.

The award for Best Actress went to Carey Mulligan in

Promising Young Woman

, a #MeeToo revenge film that also won Best Screenplay and is seen as a possible Oscar challenger.

Sound of Metal

, also nominated for an Oscar, won the best actor awards for Riz Ahmed, rock drummer who goes deaf, best supporting role for Paul Raci and best first film for its director Darius Marder.

South Korean actress Youn Yuh-jung recorded another victory for her supporting role as eccentric grandmother in

Minari

, for which she is also nominated for an Oscar.
