The 37th Film Independent Spirit Awards, honoring the best independent films and television series of 2021, were presented by Film Independent on March 6, 2022.[1][2][3][4][5] Traditionally held the Saturday before the Academy Awards, the 2022 date marks a shift in the season, placing the Spirit Awards squarely in the corridor leading into Oscar voting.[1] The nominations were announced on December 14, 2021 by actresses Beanie Feldstein, Regina Hall, and Naomi Watts.[6][7][8] Returning to an in-person ceremony this year, the event was televised in the United States on IFC and streamed exclusively for subscribers by AMC+.[9] Married couple Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman hosted the ceremony.[10]

The grant recipients for the Emerging Filmmakers Awards were announced on February 10, 2022.[11]
