The notoriously unpredictable and always confusing Gotham Awards revealed their nominations for the upcoming 34th gala, with Sean Baker’s Anora leading the pack. Anora earned four nominations: Best Feature, Best Director, Outstanding Lead Performance for Mikey Madison, and—perhaps most exciting for the team—Outstanding Supporting Performance for Yura Borisov, who has been on a strong streak this decade with roles in Compartment Number 6, Petrov’s Flu, and Captain Volkonogov Escaped. The Palme d’Or winning film clean up in all three major categories while All We Imagine as Light, Nickel Boys and I Saw the TV Glow are also in the mix with multiple nominations.
One jury of five people snubbed The Brutalist for Best Feature and Best Director while another jury of five gave acting noms to Adrien Brody and Guy Pearce in the two acting categories. Filling out the Best Picture noms category we find Babygirl, Challengers, A Different Man and Nickel Boys. RaMell Ross received a Best Director nom while Brandon Wilson received an Breakthrough Performer nod — however it is Lily Collias from Good One who is the heavy favorite here. Filmmaker India Donaldson also received a Breakthrough Director nomination – making it two noms for Metrograph’s very first theatrical release in Good One.
