The nominees of this year’s Gotham Awards have been unveiled, with The Favourite and First Reformed leading the pack. These critically acclaimed dramas will both be competing in three different categories, including best feature.
The cast of Yorgos Lanthimos’ epic period drama already scored one major victory before the actual ceremony rolled around. Olivia Colman, Emma Stone, and Rachel Weisz are set to receive a special jury award for ensemble performance. Moonlight and Spotlight are two of the previous recipients of this prestigious honor. They both went on to receive several Oscar nominations, and even won Best Picture!
Gotham Awards are presented by the Independent Filmmaker Project and they’ve been around since 1991. This year’s ceremony will take place on November 26, but the host is yet to be announced.
