This marks the first year the awards ceremony will use gender-neutral categories for all acting awards. Film Independent also recently increased the budget caps for qualifying films, raising it to $30 million instead of $22.5 million, citing an increase in production costs. The John Cassavetes Award goes to the best film made with a budget of less than $1 million.

“We’re thrilled to join the other festivals and award shows that are already moving to celebrate great acting without reference to gender. We’re also happy to welcome non-binary performers into the Spirit Awards without forcing them to choose to identify as male or female,” Film Independent president Josh Welsh said at the time.

The nominations for the television portion of the Independent Spirit Awards will be announced on December 13. The official awards ceremony will be held on Saturday, March 4. The host has not been unveiled yet.
