The British Independent Film Awards — the U.K.’s answer to the Film Independent Spirit Awards — lived up to their outsider roots with this morning’s nominations announcement, as offbeat festival sensations, edgy genre film and a hit documentary trumped Oscar-tipped prestige dramas.

The awards will be presented on Dec. 6 at London’s Old Billingsgate Market. At the ceremony, Kate Winslet will receive the Variety Award for global achievement.
