Abbott Elementary And The Bear Top 2023 Spirit Award TV Nominations
Dec 19, 2022
The movie honorees received their flowers last month and this morning, Film Independent revealed the highly anticipated television nominees for the 2023 Film Independent Spirit Awards. Four programs took three nominations each: “Abbott Elementary,” “The Bear,” “Severance” and “Station Eleven.” In the Best Scripted Series category, the latter three were joined by “The Porter” and “Pachinko” as “Abbott” did not make the cut.

“Pachinko” was also rewarded with the Best Ensemble Cast in a New Scripted Series award for stars Soji Arai, Jin Ha, Inji Jeong, Minha Kim, Kaho Minami, Lee Minho, Steve Sanghyun Noh, Anna Sawai, Jimmi Simpson, and Yuh-jung Youn.
The Best New Non-Scripted or Documentary Series nominees include “Children of the Underground,” “Mind Over Murder,” “Pepsi, Where’s my Jet?,” “The Rehearsal” and “We Need to Talk About Cosby.” “Cosby” took the equivalent honor at the Gotham Awards a few weeks ago.
In a statement, Josh Welsh, longtime president of Film Independent noted, “As the television landscape continues to evolve, and independent artists expand the idea of how stories can be told, we’re proud to be changing with them. With our new categories and gender-neutral acting awards, we hope to better reflect the diversity of incredible work being created by these talented artists.”
Like the Gotham Awards and a number of critics group honors, Film Independent switched to gender-neutral acting awards this year. Additionally, a Best Supporting Performance in a New Scripted Series award is being handed out for the first time.
The 38th Film Independent Spirit Awards will take place on Saturday, March 4, 2023. At this point, they will stream live online for the general public.
