Con sette candidature, Mai raramente a volte sempre guida le nomination degli Independent Spirit Awards 2020 seguito da Minari, a quota sei candidature. Seguono Nomadland e il film Netflix Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, con cinque candidature a testa.
Ad attirare l'attenzione è soprattutto il film di Eliza Hittman Mai raramente a volte sempre che centra le candidature a miglior film, regia e miglior protagonista femminile grazie all'incredibile esordio di Sidney Flanigan.
L'attenzione alla diversità nelle nomination agli Independent Spirit Awards 2020 porta ad avere il 57 percento dei contendenti donne e il 48 percento persone di colore. Spesso l'importante riconoscimento, per i vincitori, ha rappresentato un'anticamera per l'Oscar.
