The nominees for the 2015 Independent Spirit Awards were announced by Rosario Dawson and Diego Luna at the W Hotel in Hollywood on Tuesday, and we're thrilled to see some of our favorite films and actors nominated in the top categories.

Birdman had the most nominations with six, including Best Feature and Best Director. Nightcrawler, Selma and Boyhood each earned five, and the latter of the three are also up against Birdman in the Best Feature category.

Jake Gyllenhaal earned a Best Male Lead nom for Nightcrawler, and other nominees in that category include André Benjamin (Jimi: All Is By My Side), Michael Keaton (Birdman), John Lithgow (Love is Strange) and David Oyelowo (Selma).

The actors in the Best Female lead category are Julianne Moore (Still Alice), Tilda Swinton (Only Lovers Left Alive), Marion Cotillard (The Immigrant), Rinko Kikuchi (Kumiko, The Treasure Hunter) and Jenny Slate (Obvious Child).

Interestingly enough, Foxcatcher will be given a Special Distinction Award, but the drama starring Steve Carell and Channing Tatum didn't get a single nomination. Given how much Oscar buzz the film has been getting over the last few months, we find that rather surprising. Last year, all four Academy Award winners in the acting categories earned the same honors at the Spirits, so the show is seen as a good predictor for the Oscars.

The Indie Spirit Awards are on Saturday, February 21 in Santa Monica ... Click thru to see the complete list of nominees!
