After debuting as host of the 2024 Film Independent Spirit Awards, Saturday Night Live alum Aidy Bryant is coming back for ceremony’s 40th edition in 2025.

The Spirits’ nominees will be announced December 4, with winners to be revealed at the awards show on February 22, 2025 that will be streamed live on the IMDb and Film Independent YouTube channels.

“We couldn’t ask for a better host for our 40th anniversary! As we prepare to celebrate this incredible milestone honoring the outstanding achievements and contributions within the independent world, we welcome Aidy back with open arms,” said Josh Welsh, president of Film Independent. “After her unforgettable turn last year, we can once again anticipate an evening filled with laughter, inspiration, and recognition of excellence.”

Last year’s top winners included A24’s Past Lives for Best Feature and that pic’s Celine Song as Best Director.

Bryant was a 10-year cast member on Saturday Night Live.

The 2025 Film Independent Spirit Awards is looking to a familiar face to celebrate its 40th anniversary: “SNL” alum Aidy Bryant.

The “Shrill” star returns to host the 2025 Spirit Awards after being the master of ceremonies in 2024. Bryant got some big laughs doing a “roast” of the honorees like Natalie Portman, Sterling K. Brown, and Charles Melton.

“We couldn’t ask for a better host for our 40th anniversary!” Josh Welsh, President of Film Independent, said in a press statement. “As we prepare to celebrate this incredible milestone honoring the outstanding achievements and contributions within the independent world, we welcome Aidy back with open arms.
