The 32nd annual Gotham Awards are being held tonight from Cipriani Wall Street in New York City where The Daniels’ Everything Everywhere All At Once won Best Feature, the top award of the evening.
Focus Features’ TÁR led the field with five: Best Feature, Best Screenplay, Best Lead Performance (Cate Blanchett) and two in Best Supporting Performance (Nina Hoss and Noémie Merlant), winning tonight for Todd Field’s screenplay.
A24 had the biggest night, with wins for Best Feature (Everything Everywhere All At Once) and Breakthrough Director (Charlotte Wells for Aftersun) and Ke Huy Quan in Supporting Performance for Everything Everywhere All At Once.

The supporting performance section are split evenly 5-5 for women and men with Raúl Castillo in The Inspection, Brian Tyree Henry in Causeway, Ke Huy Quan in Everything Everywhere All At Once, Mark Rylance in Bones and All and Ben Whishaw in Women Talking.
