Monday night’s Gotham Awards were packed with A list stars, notching up the importance of the evening as the opening salvo for Hollywood prizes
Among the guests were Nicole Kidman, Angelina Jolie, Jessica Chastain, Timothee Chalamet, Demi Moore, and Colman Domingo.
But gender neutral nominations produced a tricky outcome. Only men won acting awards, leaving the women empty handed.
Here’s a list:
The winner for Best Feature was A Different Man.
The winner for Best International Feature was All We Imagine as Light.
The winner for Best Documentary Feature was presented to No Other Land.
The winner for Best Director was RaMell Ross for Nickel Boys.
The winner for Best Screenplay was Azazel Jacobs for His Three Daughters.
The winner for Breakthrough Director Gotham was Vera Drew for The People’s Joker.
The winner for Outstanding Lead Performance was Colman Domingo in Sing Sing.
The winner for Outstanding Supporting Performance was Clarence Maclin in Sing Sing.
The winner for Breakthrough Performer was Brandon Wilson in Nickel Boys.
The three acting winners all went to men. Big name actresses with knockout performances were completely overlooked.
Nevertheless the evening itself ran smoothly and on time, and tables at 55 Wall Street Cipriani were filled with movie stars and the top tier up and comers. The left field choice for Best Feature was the unexpected “A Different Man,” keeping the Gothams still the most important venue for indie films
