Among the 19 film and TV categories up for grabs this afternoon are three pics that are also in the Oscar Best Picture Race: A24’s Everything Everywhere All at Once, which leads the nominee field today; Focus Features’ Tár; and UAR’s Women Talking.
Already, Everything‘s Ke Huy Quan solidified his Oscar frontrunner status and won Best Supporting Performance trophy, the first of the Spirits’ inaugural gender-neutral categories to be awarded today. His castmate Stephanie Hsu won Best Breakthrough Performance.
Ayo Edebiri from FX’s The Bear has won the supporting category on the TV side. Soon after, The Bear won the Best New Scripted Series honor.

Other film-side winners include Best Cinematography for Tár, Best First Screenplay to John Patton Ford for Emily the Criminal, Venice Golden Lion winner All the Beauty and the Bloodshed with Best Documentary, and Pakistan’s Joyland as Best International Film.
Honorees today also included Women Talking receiving the Spirits’ Robert Altman Award, given to a film’s director, casting director and ensemble cast. Apple TV+’s Pachinko already won the Ensemble Cast in a New Scripted Series honor.
