#SPOTTED: DOMINIC FIKE IN TORONTO FOR “OUT OF ORDER” TOUR

Singer/Songwriter Dominic Fike gained popularity uploading songs on Soundcloud, leading eventually to a record deal with Sony Music and hits like “3 Nights” and “Phone Numbers”. It was a prominent role as Elliot on the second season of HBO‘s acclaimed series EUPHORIA that put him on the map internationally and while we wait for that third season, he is focusing on new music, with his Out of Order Tour.

Following a show at Montreal’s L’Olympia last night, he played a packed house at History in Toronto. Fike has been amazingly-kind to stop to meet fans outside the venues on this Tour and did just that following his show, stop to chat, sign autographs and snap Selfies in the cold!

We adore Euphoria so much and can’t wait to see where his story line with Rue and Jules takes him this next season. Fike was so nice to stop for a Selfie with beanie and I. She even gave him a kiss which he loved! Thrilled also to get me Seasons One and Two Blu-ray signed. Something to cherish.

Fike has been spotted with his Co-Star and partner Hunter Schafer on this Tour, and she has been very careful to avoid the attention, allowing Fike his moment to shine with his many admirers. He heads next to Detroit and the tour ends in Arizona mid-December.

#SPOTTED: “UNCUT GEMS” + “THE FAREWELL” TAKE TOP HONOURS AT 2020 FILM INDEPENDENT SPIRIT AWARDS

While the 2020 FILM INDEPENDENT SPIRIT AWARDS didn’t see a clean sweep for any particular Film, what made it most unique was the split of awards among deserving titles which may have been overseen on other circuits. Taking home top honours at this year’s Awards, held once again at Santa Monica Pier, was Lulu Wang‘s THE FAREWELL. The Film won Best Feature and Best Supporting Actress with Zhao Shuzhen, who sadly was unable to celebrate due to the Coronavirus situation in China. Wang‘s partner Barry Jenkins was with her to support her, showing his pride backstage.

UNCUT GEMS which surprisingly for many failed to garner an Academy Award nomination, performed very well at the Spirit Awards, rewarding Best Director to Co-Directors The Safdie Brothers and also Best Male Lead (Adam Sandler). Sandler gave a spirited speech delivered completely as a different character, before thanking his family, while the Safdie Brothers both delivered a comical speech which saw them talking over one another.

Much like the rest of Awards Season, Renée Zellweger took home Best Female Lead for her work in JUDY, marking her first Spirit Award win after three nominations. Returning Host Aubrey Plaza delivered an opening number, a version of Judy Garland‘s Get Happy with hilarious lyrics, delivering the chuckles once again.

 

Watch it here:

 

MARRIAGE STORY also saw recognition with the Film’s team being awarded the Robert Altman Award, along with its Director/Writer Noah Baumbach who was also awarded Best Screenplay. Baumbach gave thanks to his partner Greta Gerwig, telling the audience “Even though she made a Movie (Little Women) too expensive to be here, she is just as independent as any of us.”. This was Baumbach‘s first Spirit Award.
