“The Favourite” Tops List of Gotham Awards Nominations

The Independent Filmmaker Project unveiled this year’s list of nominations for Gotham Awards and it’s filled with intriguing titles we should definitely remember come Oscar time. The Favourite and First Reformed led the way with three nominations each, including one in the Best Feature category.

Olivia Colman, Emma Stone, and Rachel Weisz scored a victory before even showing up since their performances in The Favourite are apparently a league of its own.

Instead of nominating the three separately in the Best Actress category, the masterminds behind this ceremony came up with a special jury award for ensemble performance which will be given to the trio on November 26, when the winners of the Gotham Awards will be announced.
