This year marks the second in a row that the Spirit Awards, which used to take place the day before the Oscars, were pushed ahead in the calendar to land during the Oscar voting period. Three of the five Spirit Best Feature nominees are in the running for the same prize at the Academy Awards: Leading nominee Everything Everywhere All at Once, Tár and Women Talking. There are also overlaps in acting, directing and screenwriting categories
