It was with a festive, warm atmosphere inside a tent near the beach in Santa Monica, with just a touch of rebellious insurgency, that the Spirit Awards recognized Lulu Wang’s “The Farewell” for best feature on Saturday. In accepting the award, Wang noted the amplified conversation around women making movies, adding, “We don’t have to encourage women. There are lots of women making films who want to make films and are in film school ... what women need is the job. In accepting the award, the siblings captured their film’s frenetic, unrelenting energy by simultaneously reading separate speeches. They are movies, they are as special as anything.”See the complete list of winners from the 2020 Spirit awards.
