The Gotham Film & Media Institute announced today the nominations for the 32nd Annual Gotham Awards, singling out 23 feature films, 15 series, and 35 performances in twelve award categories. The nominations were announced live from Cipriani Wall Street by Emmy-nominated star of Pose and American Horror Story on FX, and now as Roxie Hart in Chicago on Broadway, Angelica Ross. Ross was joined by Jeffrey Sharp, award-winning film producer and the Executive Director of The Gotham.
“We are thrilled to announce this year’s Gotham Award nominees and look forward to celebrating together live and in person in a few weeks. Over 500 films and TV shows were submitted for consideration this year. These filmmakers demonstrated tremendous courage and invention in the production of their work during these months, and we’d like to congratulate them all.” said Sharp.
A24 had the biggest day, with 15 nominations including two in Best Feature (Aftersun and Everything Everywhere All At Once) and three in the Breakthrough Director category (Charlotte Wells for Aftersun, Elegance Bratton for The Inspection, Owen Kline for Funny Pages).
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).
The non-gendered acting categories leaned heavily to women in lead (7-3) with nominees Cate Blanchett in TÁR, Danielle Deadwyler in Till, Dale Dickey in A Love Song, Taylor Russell in Bones and All, Thandiwe Newton in God’s Country, Aubrey Plaza in Emily the Criminal and Michelle Yeoh in Everything Everywhere All at Once. The supporting performance section was 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.
The 32nd annual Gotham Awards Ceremony will take place live and in-person on Monday, November 28, 2022, at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City.
Adam Sandler and Michelle Williams will receive a Performer Tribute Awards during the November ceremony. Sandler’s most recent film appearance was in Netflix’s Hustle, released globally on June 8, 2022. Williams stars in Steven Spielberg’s new film, The Fabelmans, which arrives in theaters beginning November 11.
The cast of Andrew Ahn’s Fire Island will receive the Ensemble Tribute Award. Written by Joel Kim Booster, FIRE ISLAND features an ensemble cast of Booster, Bowen Yang, Conrad Ricamora, James Scully, Matt Rogers, Tomás Matos, Torian Miller, Nick Adams, Zane Phillips, and Margaret Cho. Set in the iconic Pines, the film is an unapologetic, modern day romantic comedy showcasing a diverse, multicultural examination of queerness and romance. Inspired by the timeless pursuits from Jane Austen’s classic Pride and Prejudice, the story centers around two best friends (Joel Kim Booster and Bowen Yang) who set out to have a legendary summer adventure with the help of cheap rosé and their cadre of eclectic friends.
Nominees are selected by committees of film and television critics, journalists, festival programmers, and film curators. Separate juries of writers, directors, actors, producers, editors, and others directly involved in making films will determine the final Gotham Award recipients.
