Gotham Award 2019 Nominations: big boosts for Waves, Uncut Gems, Clemency and more...
by Nathaniel R
There’s no true frontrunner at the Gotham Awards this year with Marriage Story, Uncut Gems, and The Farewell each receiving 3 nominations overall within the 6 (narrative film) categories of the Gotham Awards. Let’s take a look at the nominations shall we? It’s a big year for A24 who always has a few wonderful films up their sleeves each year. They’ve dominated the feature and screenplay and breakthrough actor categories with 60% of the nominees in each. No other company was as dominant though there are lots of honors for Netflix, too.
Best Feature
-
The Farewell (A24)
-
Hustlers (STXfilms)
-
Marriage Story (Netflix)
-
Uncut Gems (A24)
-
Waves (A24)
