There is an awards show, I forget its name, where it is supposed to recognize "indie" films. However, some years ago, Hollywood decided that the "indie" films should be winning Oscars as well. So, the Academy Awards has become less and less relevant because they are now also giving the awards to indie movies that no one has seen; nor, are they ever going to see.
I am not interested in seeing Moonlight, ever.
Like Eric Cartman said, "Independent Films are just about gay cowboys eating pudding."
