2022 Gotham Awards Nominations: A Diverse Celebration of Cinematic Excellence
This year's Gotham Awards nominations are led by Paul Thomas Anderson's action epic "One Battle After Another," which received six nominations, including best feature and acting nods for Benicio Del Toro, Teyana Taylor, and breakthrough performer Chase Infiniti. The Gotham Awards have removed the budget cap for awards consideration, allowing big-budget films like "One Battle After Another" to compete alongside smaller indie titles. The best feature category now has 10 nominees, including films like "Bugonia," "East of Wall," and "The Testament of Ann Lee." Several major contenders, including Mary Bronstein, Jafar Panahi, and Kelly Reichardt, scored multiple nominations in various categories. The lead acting lineup features Jessie Buckley, Lee Byung-hun, Rose Byrne, and other talented actors in gender-neutral categories. Supporting performance nominees include Jacob Elordi, Wunmi Mosaku, and Adam Sandler. Breakthrough performers like A$AP Rocky, Sebiye Behtiyar, and Abou Sangaré are also recognized. The nominees were selected by committees of industry professionals, with final winners determined by separate juries. The Gotham Film & Media Institute's executive director, Jeffrey Sharp, praised this year's nominees for their creativity and diversity of storytelling, celebrating an extraordinary year of cinematic achievement.
