"The Farewell" received the Best Feature award at the 35th annual Film Independent Spirit Awards. Lulu Wang's family comedy-drama loosely based on her life experience also took Best Supporting Female prize for Zhao Shuzhen's amazing performance as the beloved matriarch who is dying but her family decides to keep this information from her. The other big winners were some more films that were overlooked and should have been recognized by the Academy this year which includes Benny and Josh Safdie winning Best Director for their crime-thriller, "Uncut Gems" and Adam Sandler, who did some unexpectedly sublime work in this film, won Best Male Lead. Actress, Olivia Wilde received the Best First Feature award for her debut as a director with "Booksmart", a hilarious female high-school buddy comedy. But Renee Zellweger, Best Female Lead for "Judy", and Best International Film, "Parasite" from Bong Joon Ho, will most likely repeat their wins at the Oscars tonight.
