The 2024 Gotham Awards have begun at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City.
Neon’s “Anora,” a free-wheeling comedy about a sex worker who becomes entangled with the family of a Russian oligarch, leads the nominations with four, including for best feature.
Each category for nominations is decided by a different jury of critics, journalists and other industry professionals, and screening links must be provided to all its jury members. An entirely different group determines the winners. That’s in contrast with the Oscars or the BAFTAs, which are determined by actors, filmmakers and other artists who are in the entertainment industry.
In addition to the nominees, the Gothams is also bestowing special tributes to some of Hollywood’s biggest stars, including Oscar winner Angelina Jolie (Performer Tribute) for “Maria,” Emmy winner Zendaya (Spotlight Tribute) for “Challengers,” Timothée Chalamet and James Mangold (Visionary Tribute) for “A Complete Unknown,” and the cast of “Sing Sing” (Social Justice Tribute).
This marks the second year that the annual ceremony, hosted by the Gotham Film & Media Institute, removed a budget cap of $35 million for eligible films. Past winners of the Gothams top prize have included “Spotlight” (2015), “Moonlight” (2016) and “Everything Everywhere All at Once” (2022), all of which went on to win best picture at the Oscars.
