The 32st annual Gotham Awards is underway, and Deadline is updating the winners list live from in-person event at Cipriani Wall Street in Manhattan. You can watch the livestream here.
Todd Field was among the early winners for his screenplay for Tár, which came into the evening with a leading five nominations. See the winners and remaining nominees in all 12 categories, including gender-neutral performer awards, below.
France’s abortion drama Happening scored an upset win for International Film. Director Audrey Diwan, who said she wasn’t prepared and that she was shaking, called out to “all the silent women [who] put their life at risk to defend their initiate choices. … This shouldn’t be happening again.” The Lumière-winning film — which was not submitted for the International Feature Oscar race but was on France’s shortlist — beat out favorites including Ireland’s The Banshees of Inisherin and South Korea’s Decision to Leave. Presented by IFC Films, Happening made its U.S. premiere after the leaked Supreme Court decision abolishing Roe v. Wade but before it became law.
The Documentary Feature prize went to All That Breathes, director Shaunak Sen’s film about the two “kite brothers” from Dehli and the birds of prey they rescue from the smog-soaked Indian city. Watch the first film to win Best Documentary at both Sundance and Cannes here.
On the TV side, W. Kamau Bell’s We Need To Talk About Cosby took the Gotham for Breakthrough Nonfiction Series. Ben Whishaw won Outstanding Performance in a New Series for his role as a junior OB/GYM in the AMC+/BBC dramedy This Is Going to Hurt.
Traditionally among the first awards shows of the movie-kudos season, the Gothams honor the best of American film and TV, other than the Best International Feature and Best Documentary. The Best Feature nominees are Focus Features’ Tár; Everything Everywhere All at Once and Aftersun, both from A24; Mubi’s The Cathedral; and Cinema Guild’s Dos Estaciones.
This year’s ceremony will see honorary awards for Michelle Williams and Adam Sandler (Performer Tributes); Focus Features’ Chairman Peter Kujawski and Vice Chairman Jason Cassidy (Industry Tribute); The Woman King filmmaker Gina Prince-Bythewood (Filmmaker Tribute); Audible founder and executive chairman Don Katz (Innovator Tribute); the Venice Film Festival (Gotham Impact Salute) and the groundbreaking actor, filmmaker and activist Sidney Poitier (Icon Tribute), who died in January at 94.
Gotham Awards given to individual films or performers in films where the vision of an individual director, producer, writer or writer/director is abundantly evident, and where the film cannot be classically defined as a “work for hire.” Last year, Netflix’s The Lost Daughter by Maggie Gyllenhaal won Best Feature.
