After singing and dancing her way into the show during her monologue, host Aubrey Plaza sat down with Michael Shannon for a very sane conversation about her hosting duties to that point. It played out in a parody of one of the year\u2019s weirder films, \u201cThe Lighthouse.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the skit, the duo played lighthouse keepers who just don\u2019t get along, and when Plaza sees Shannon writing something in his log and asks him what he\u2019s writing, Shannon tells her, \u201cNautical things.\u201d She grabs the log and sees that he clearly didn\u2019t like her opening monologue \u2014 and he especially didn\u2019t like that she called out Shia LaBeouf and his career in her opening.<\/p>\n
\u201cYe rewrote all me jokes,\u201d Plaza laments.<\/p>\n
Shannon, in one of the funnier references to the film, justifies rewriting Plaza\u2019s jokes by saying the seagull, which sits atop the statue for the Independent Spirit Award never laughed. That was before he began farting up a storm\u2026 you\u2019d really have to see the movie.<\/p>\n

It is the follow-up to Eggers\u2019 satanic period piece \u201cThe Witch,\u201d and follows a pair of lighthouse keepers whose grip on sanity slowly dwindles as they grapple with the isolation that comes with being in a tiny tower surrounded by stormy weather. Filmed in black and white and in 4:3 ratio, Eggers\u2019 direction and Dafoe and Pattinson\u2019s performance drag the audience into the claustrophobic reality these two face.<\/p>\n Dafoe won the Independent Spirit for Best Supporting Male for his role in the film.
