'Can You Ever Forgive Me?,' 'Eighth Grade' and 'Roma' also were among the winners of the trophies, handed out Saturday afternoon inside a tent on the beach in Santa Monica.

If Beale Street Could Talk was the big winner at the 34th annual Film Independent Spirit Awards, which were handed out Saturday afternoon inside a tent on the beach in Santa Monica.

Leading the 2019 Spirit Awards winners was Barry Jenkins' film, which took a total of three trophies: best feature, best director for Jenkins and best supporting female for Regina King.

Can You Ever Forgive Me? followed with a total of two Spirit Awards wins — best supporting male for Richard E. Grant and best screenplay for Nicole Holofcener and Jeff Whitty.

The other acting winners were Glenn Close as best female lead for The Wife and Ethan Hawke (who wasn't there) as best male lead for First Reformed.

Bo Burnham won the Spirit Award for best first screenplay for Eighth Grade, while Boots Riley took the award for best first feature for Sorry to Bother You.

Roma was named best international film at the 2019 Spirit Awards, while Won't You Be My Neighbor? was named best documentary.

Aubrey Plaza hosted the Spirit Awards for the first time. Plaza was the first solo host in a while, after two years of John Mulaney and Nick Kroll serving as hosts.

"I was shocked that they asked," Plaza told The Hollywood Reporter of her emcee gig. "I've hosted live shows at underground theaters in New York, variety shows when I was doing stand-up, but I've really never hosted anything."

In her monologue, she joked about Roma on Netflix, BlacKkKlansman's sole nomination and the lack of an Oscars host.

Heading into the show, We the Animals, documentary filmmaker Jeremiah Zagar's narrative debut about a mixed-race family with three young sons in upstate New York and based on Justin Torres' 2011 debut novel of the same name, led all nominees with a total of five noms. Eighth Grade, First Reformed and You Were Never Really Here followed with four apiece. (Click here to see what the stars are wearing on the blue carpet.)
