The 34th Film Independent Spirit Awards have a few things the Oscars don’t: a host and female filmmaker nominees. The annual awards honoring independent film will be handed out Saturday in a tent on the Santa Monica, California, beach and broadcast live on IFC at 2 p.m. PST. Aubrey Plaza will be hosting this year’s show which includes fewer Oscar contenders than usual. The top nominees are Bo Burnham’s coming-of-age tale « Eighth Grade, » Lynne Ramsey’s existentialist thriller « You Were Never Really Here, » Paul Schrader’s religious drama « First Reformed » and Jeremiah Zagar’s lyrical « We the Animals.
