Taking place just a day before the Oscars, the Film Independent Spirit Awards is perhaps a pre-cursor, but more often than not it is simply a more eclectic round-up of the essential features of the past year. 2017 was no different with Barry Jenkins‘ stellar break-out drama Moonlight picking up Best Feature, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Editing, Best Cinematography, and the Robert Altman Award for the ensemble (which meant they weren’t nominated in the other categories).

Also featuring Isabelle Huppert, Casey Affleck, Ben Foster, Molly Shannon, two awards for The Witch, and more, check out the full list of winners below, as well as Nick Kroll and John Mulaney‘s hilarious opening monologue and more highlights from the show.
