No Love for Priscilla
Sofia Coppola’s Priscilla was always going to be a hard sell at the Oscars, but it should’ve been a lock at the Indie Spirit Awards. Expectations were running high, but this film didn’t receive any nominations—not even for its breakout star Cailee Spaeny.
Best Feature: The Holdovers
Despite being one of the top nominees with four nods, Alexander Payne’s latest film The Holdovers missed out on the best feature nomination.
Best Supporting Performance: Paul Mescal
Paul Mescal won the British Independent Film Award for his performance in All Of Us Strangers just a few days ago, but Indie Spirit voters showed him no love.
Best Lead Performance: Peter Sarsgaard
Peter Sarsgaard won the Volpi Cup for Best Actor at the Venice Film Festival for Memory, but that wasn’t enough to earn him an Indie Spirit Award nod in the same category.
Best Breakthrough Performance: Bottoms Stars
Bottoms introduced us to many promising young actresses, including Ruby Cruz and Havana Rose Liu, so it was quite a shocker to see the best breakthrough performance nomination go to their co-star Marshawn Lynch instead.

Next Goal Wins
Taika Waititi’s latest film centers on a visionary soccer coach Thomas Rongen, who transformed the struggling American Samoa national football team into an elite squad and helped them qualify for the 2014 FIFA World Cup.
Rustin
This biopic stars Colman Domingo as the unoverlooked civil rights icon Bayard Rustin, who played a crucial role in helping Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. organize the Great March on Washington in 1963.

Elordi will star in some of the most exciting indie movies coming to theatres in the next few months, and here are three you should put on your watch list.
Saltburn
Emerald Fennell’s latest film stars Elordi as aristocratic Oxford student Felix Catton. During his time at the university, he befriends socially awkward Oliver Quick, who has a hard time fitting in at Oxford, and invites him to spend an unforgettable summer at his family’s sprawling estate Saltburn.
Priscilla
Only a year after Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis took the world by storm, Sofia Coppola decided to tell this story from Priscilla Presley’s point of view. This movie stars Elordi as the King of Rock’n’Roll as we’ve never seen him before, and his brutally honest portrayal ruffled some feathers after this biopic premiered in Venice.
The Sweet East
Elordi will also have a small supporting role in Sean Price Williams’s directorial debut The Sweet East. This poignant drama centers on a high school senior Lillian who must traverse through the cities and woods of the Eastern seaboard after being separated from her class on a school trip.
