Film Independent has set its dates for the next two iterations of the Independent Spirit Awards<\/a>, with the event returning to the Hollywood Palladium.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After “Saturday Night Live” alum Ego Nwodim hosted the 41st Film Independent Spirit Awards in February, the next ceremony will take place on March 6, 2027, and again a year later on Feb. 19, 2028.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These dates will place the upcoming Indie Awards one week ahead of the 99th Academy Awards and two weeks ahead of the milestone 100th Oscars<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Typically held in a massive tent on the beach by the Santa Monica Pier, the 2026 Independent Spirit Awards moved inland to Hollywood to make room for Los Angeles’ 2028 Summer Olympics preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Train Dreams” was the big winner at this year’s Independent Spirit Awards<\/a>, winning Best Feature, Best Cinematography and Best Director for Clint Bentley. “Adolescence,” meanwhile, won four categories to top its competition in TV — Best New Scripted Series, Best Lead Performance for Stephen Graham, Best Supporting Performance for Erin Doherty and Best Breakthrough Performance for Owen Cooper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first-ever Independent Spirit Awards took place on March 3, 1984. <\/p>\n\n\n
