The Gotham Awards, presented by the Gotham Film & Media Institute, pride themselves on being the first ceremony of the awards season, often foreshadowing which of the smaller budget films will make a successful run to the Oscars in March. After a Zoom ceremony in 2020, the awards returned to Cipriani Wall Street and, among vaccination cards, recent covid tests, and newly gender-neutral categories, Netflix ran away with the evening, scoring awards for Best Feature for director Maggie Gyllenhaal’s The Lost Daughter, Outstanding Lead Performance for Olivia Coleman, and Breakthrough Longform Series for mega-hit Squid Game.
