The Gotham Awards will kick off the coming awards season on November 29, 2021.
As for the TV categories, we’re especially excited to see recognition for favorites like We Are Lady Parts, How to With John Wilson, and Reservation Dogs. The nominee list for the latter category is made up entirely of female performers.
In a first for the awards, the acting categories have been made gender-neutral: Outstanding Lead Performance, Outstanding Supporting Performance, Outstanding Performance in a New Series, and Breakthrough Performer.
But because we live in 2021, Netflix tied with them. Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Lost Daughter and Rebecca Hall’s Passing earned four nominations each from the voting body, which recognizes excellence in independent (i.e., budgets under $35 million) films and television.īecause the Gothams are thoroughly indie, A24 led the awards with ten nominations for its films. Two debut films from female directors, which both happen to be literary adaptations of female authors, lead the list of nominations for the 31st annual Gotham Awards.
