PhotoLOS ANGELES — “Get Out” was the big winner at a sodden, rain-swept Film Independent Spirit Awards in Santa Monica on Saturday, winning best feature and best director for Jordan Peele a day before Hollywood’s biggest night of the year. Timothée Chalamet won best male lead for his performance in “Call Me by Your Name,” Allison Janney won best supporting actress for “I, Tonya,” and “Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri” yielded prizes for Sam Rockwell (best supporting actor) and Frances McDormand (best actress). Once onstage, dressed in pajamas and fuzzy slippers, Ms. McDormand expressed relief that this was one awards show she could curse at. Do you know how hard it’s been not to swear over the last couple of months? Other winners included Greta Gerwig, who took best screenplay for “Lady Bird”; Emily V. Gordon and Kumail Nanjiani, who won best first screenplay for “The Big Sick”; “A Fantastic Woman” for best international film; and “Faces Places,” best documentary.
