Noah Baumbach’s ‘Marriage Story’ dominated Monday’s 29th annual IFP Gotham Awards with four wins, including Best Feature and Best Actor for Adam Driver.
The ceremony, celebrating the best in indie cinema and television, was held Monday evening at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City and was presented by the Independent Filmmaker Project.
Acting awards went to Driver, to Awkwafina for “The Farewell” (Best Actress) and to Taylor Russell for “Waves” (Breakthrough Actress).
“American Factory” was named the year’s best documentary, while Laure De Clermont-Tonnerre won in the Breakthrough Director category for “The Mustang.”
In the television categories, prizes went to the Netflix miniseries “When They See Us” and the Hulu sitcom “PEN15.”
“The Lighthouse” and “Uncut Gems” went into the ceremony with multiple nominations but did not win anything.
The show also included tributes to actors Sam Rockwell and Laura Dern, director Ava DuVernay and FilmNation Entertainment CEO Glen Basner.
The Gotham winner has gone on to win the Oscar for Best Picture only four times — but those four have all come in the last 10 ceremonies, starting with “The Hurt Locker” in 2009 and including three years in a row with “Birdman” in 2014, “Spotlight” in 2015 and “Moonlight” in 2016.
