Join Nerdist on the FILM INDEPENDENT SPIRIT AWARDS Arrivals Carpet!

If you’re reading this, there’s a good chance that awards shows are your own personal sporting event. If that’s the case, good news—The Film Independent Spirit Awards are kicking off the biggest awards show weekend of the year on February 27th, and you’re invited.

We here at Nerdist want to make this the best awards season ever by giving you access to all your favorite stars, and an inside look at what the TV-watching public doesn’t usually get to see. Thanks to the wonders of social media, you can join us on the arrivals carpet with the actors, directors, writers, and more of this year’s biggest films right from your phone or desktop. Nerdist will be streaming the pre-show arrivals live on Periscope (username: NerdistDotCom) featuring all your favorite nominees and hosted by our own Dan Casey. Then, during the show join us on our live blog and social media handles (@Nerdist) for a look at all the backstage behind-the-scenes magic and award winners. Use the hashtag #NerdistSpirit on Twitter to send us your questions for nominees and presenters!

Here’s your guide for who else to follow all day for Spirit Awards coverage on Saturday, February 27:
