With 2023 coming to a close, awards season for this year in movies is about to get started! The start of awards season begins with the annual Gotham Awards, this year taking place on November 27th at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City. Now, you may not have heard of the Gotham Awards before as they are not as popular amongst the general public like the Oscars or Golden Globes may be. Nevertheless, they are just as fun and important when it comes to potentially seeing who could end up on top when the season comes to a close in March.
But what are the Gotham Awards?
The Gotham Awards, presented by the Gotham Film & Media Institute, are a smaller award show that focuses on independent films, being one of the largest membership organizations to do so. Given for both film and television, these awards are a great way for smaller films to get recognition at the beginning of awards season, that could eventually give the film some steam when it comes to nominations for future award shows.
Today, the nominations have been announced and here are this year’s nominees for film:
