Comedian Hasan Minhaj hosted the Independent Spirit event live from Santa Monica Beach, California. The annual award show honours the best in independent film and television and it was a star studded night.

The kinetic, multiverse-spanning, family opus, won numerous awards, including Best Film, Best Director and Best Editing.

Actor Ke Huy Quan took home the first award of the night for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in Everything Everywhere. Later, Michelle Yeoh won for Best Lead Performance in the film.

The award season has been led by ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once’ where they have been taking home a lot of the awards, except at the BAFTAS, which shouldn't surprise anyone. As the BAFTAS are hardly relevant to many people outside the UK, the movie is still on track for some Oscar recognition.
