The Gotham Awards, now in their 33rd year, leapfrog most of the major ceremonies that lead up to the Academy Awards. But over time, they’ve established themselves as the first big party of the season, and an early hint at some of the favourites. Put on by the Gotham Film & Media Institute and held annually at Cipriani Wall Street, the Gothams have some quirks that make them different than other awards. Prizes are chosen by small committees of film professionals, critics and journalists. Their acting categories are also gender neutral, with 10 actors nominated for lead performance, and another 10 up for supporting performances.

Lily Gladstone, seen here with Leonardo DiCaprio, won for a lesser-known film released earlier in 2023: ‘The Unknown Country,’ in which she stars as a woman embarking on a road trip though the Midwest. In each of her speeches — for ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ and ‘The Unknown Country’ — Gladstone praised the filmmakers for prioritising Native perspectives. “I challenge everybody in this room who makes films: Invest. When you have a budget, invest it in the people,” said Gladstone. “Invest in the people that you’re telling your story about. Your film will be better for it. Your lives will be better for it.”

Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie of ‘Barbie’ were among the numerous tribute awards. In their joint speech, Gerwig said her partner, Noah Baumbach, found out he was co-writing the movie with her from a Variety article that cited them both. He sent the article to Gerwig with just a question mark, she said. “Then he wrote back: ‘It’s OK, we'll make each other laugh,'" added Gerwig.
