The Academy Awards may be the big prize of this weekend, but the Film Independent Spirit Awards will always hold a special place for me. Showing no regard for popularity, box office, studio support, or media frenzy, the Spirit Awards usually pick the best films rather than the most buzzworthy. I wasn't able to find as many of these as usual, but here is my 2016 Spirit Award ballot ranking the movies I have seen in each category.
