Jordan Peele‘s horror/satire Get Out was the big winner at Saturday’s 33rd Annual Film Independent Spirit Awards, the Academy Awards‘ laid-back little sister, held in Santa Monica just one day before film’s biggest night.

Other winners included Frances McDormand and Sam Rockwell for Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri; Allison Janney for I, Tonya; and breakout star Timothée Chalamet for Call Me By Your Name.

The Film Independent Spirit Awards—which were sponsored by Piaget, Fiji Water and Bulleit Frontier Whiskey—have correctly predicted the Oscars’ Best Picture winner the last four years running. Here is the full list of this year’s winners.
