The 35th Independent Spirit Awards 2020 winner was announced last night. The ceremony that took place in Santa Monica, California happened just a day before the 92nd Academy Awards that is set to take place on February 9 in Los Angeles. If you thought that the Spirit Award winners would give clarity about the Oscars 2020 winners list, you are in a for a surprise, like the rest of us. 

The international awards show's winners' list refreshingly features movies and actors that were snubbed by the Academy which they faced heavy backlash for. Adam Sandler's Uncut Gems and The Farewell were big winners at the ceremony with Uncut Gems bagging three awards and The Farewell winning two awards.

The Farewell beat Marriage Story and Uncut Gems to bag the Best Feature award. Zhao Shuzhen bagged Best Supporting Female for her role in the movie. Uncut Gems bagged Best Actor for Adam Sandler, Best Director, and Best Editing. 

Meanwhile, The Lighthouse bagged two awards namely Best Cinematography, Best Supporting Actor for Willem Dafoe. In addition to this, Oscars 2020's Best Picture frontrunner Parasite made history by becoming the first South Korean movie to bag a Spirit Award and won the international movie Best Foreign Film.
