The 2023 Film Independent Spirit Awards are happening March 4, returning as always (except for that one weird COVID year) to the beach in Santa Monica. For the third year, in addition to film categories, the Spirit Awards are recognizing uniqueness of vision, innovation and boldness in five television categories. Winners are chosen only by Members of Film Independent. The 2023 television nominees were revealed on YouTube this morning by very special guest presenter Asia Kate Dillon (Billions, Orange is the New Black, John Wick: Chapter 3—Parabellum). Watch the full announcement below:
