Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Awards season arrived to UK shores this Sunday, as the Baftas honoured the last year in film - and what a truly spectacular one it was.

While Guillermo del Toro's aquatic romance The Shape of Water, garnered 12 nods, the most of any film this year, it was actually Martin McDonagh's Three Billboards Outside of Ebbing, Missouri which walked away the night's big winner with five awards in total: Best Film, Best British Film, Best Original Screenplay, Best Actress, and Best Supporting Actor.

The ceremony also carried on the Time's Up conversation, with attendees continuing the show of solidarity by wearing black on the red carpet from the Golden Globes, with many others bringing along activists. You can read our coverage of the ceremony as it happened below.

And some of the winners they didn't think were important enough to televise, including Best Score for Shape of Water, Best Make-up and Hair for Darkest Hour, Best Costume Design for Phantom Thread, and Best Animated film for Coco.
