Michelle Yeoh's Everything Everywhere All At Once and Cate Blanchett's Tar led the Spirit Awards nominations Tuesday (Nov 22), underlining their credentials as the indie films to watch this awards season.

The Film Independent Spirit Awards, which consider only low- and mid-budget movies, gave eight nods to Yeoh's hit sci-fi about surreal parallel universes, and seven to Blanchett's drama set in the cut-throat world of classical music.
