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.

Who is going to win?
For the major film categories, both Moonlight and La La Land are expected to dominate, various critics labelling both masterpieces. For best actor in a drama, Casey Affleck is thought to be ahead for his turn in Manchester By The Sea, while best actor in comedy may very well go to outsider Ryan Reynolds for Deadpool.
Natalie Portman and Amy Adams are in hot contention for best actress in a drama, while musical will likely go to Hollywood darling Emma Stone. Foreign language film, meanwhile, sees a tough fight between Elle and Toni Erdman, both loved by critics.
Television wise, we can likely expect Atlanta to pick up the majority of comedy awards, Donald Glover’s series being a surprisingly fresh and hilarious show unlike any other. Drama wise, it's slightly more in the air but Game of Thrones and Stranger Things look set for multiple awards. Limited series, meanwhile, is a two-horse race between The People v OJ and The Night Of.
