Hasan Minhaj gets in the Spirit of his new gig

I say you lean into it. That’s my personal take on it. Because these award shows perfectly vacillate between deeply meaningful and absolutely meaningless. As is the discourse around it. Do you know what I mean? Like, there are UFO sightings, spy balloons, and then there will be huge New Yorker articles devoted to analysis of what happened at an award show. So that duality of meaningful and meaningless, I think is just so interesting and funny. So just lean into it.

AVC: “Meaningful and meaningless” feels spot-on for award shows. I’ve joked that they’re ultimately about seeing pretty people in pretty outfits, but there’s something deeper there. These ceremonies are rituals to celebrate artists at their best, and their art is a visual medium, and they’re looking their best.Yes, completely. It’s a celebration of peacocking. Brought to you by Getty Images. And that serves, that has a deep history in society.

AVC: So ahead of these Spirit Awards, I’m curious about your perspective on the state of indie film today, as you have this interesting overlap between Hollywood and the stand-up and talk show worlds. How would you say the industry has changed in recent years?Yeah. So I would do it two ways, micro and macro. So on the ground, as of right now, you and I are chatting, February 2023.
