WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT COSBY and PEPSI both Film Independent Spirit Awards TV Nominations
Film Independent Spirit Awards TV Nominations: ‘Abbott Elementary’, ‘Pachinko’, ‘The Bear’ ‘Severance’, More:
The Film Independent Spirit Awards unveiled their 2023 nominees for television Tuesday morning. The reveal marks a previously announced expansion of the TV categories, as well as a move to gender-neutral acting races this year in both television and film, the latter of which were revealed last month during the Spirits’ film nominations.
The organization has combined both actor and actress in TV’s Best Lead Performance in a New Scripted Series, and in the new category of Best Supporting Performance in a New Scripted Series.
Billions star Asia Kate Dillon announced the nominees this morning on Film Independent’s YouTube channel.
ABC’s Abbott Elementary, FX’s The Bear, Apple TV+’s Severance and HBO/HBO Max’s Station Eleven led with three nominations each, including in Best New Scripted Series. Pachinko landed the sole nomination for Best Ensemble Cast in a New Scripted Series and also was nominated for Best New Scripted Series.
Last year, the Spirits honored FX’s Reservation Dogs with both the Best New Scripted Series and Best Ensemble Cast in a New Scripted Series awards. The acting honors, split into female and male categories, went to Thuso Mbedu for Amazon’s The Underground Railroad and Lee Jung-jae for Netflix’s Squid Game, respectively. The Best New Non-Scripted or Documentary Series award went to HBO’s Black and Missing from Soledad O’Brien and Geeta Gandbhir.
The 38th annual awards ceremony will be held on the beach in Santa Monica on Sunday, March 4.
