Inside Llewyn Davis, the newest film from the brothers Joel and Ethan Coen, won the "Best Feature" Award at the 2013 Gotham Awards last night. Alleged Oscar favorite, 12 Years a Slave, was shut out of the winners' circle. [This is just the first step in proving what I've said before - 12 Years a Slave - is not destined for Oscar glory. I wish that it were, but reality bites.] The only film to win more than one award last night was "Fruitvale Station," winning two: "Breakthrough Director" for Ryan Coogler and "Breakthrough Actor" for Michael B. Jordan."
The Gotham Awards is an annual film awards ceremony that honors independent films. The Gotham Awards are part of The Independent Filmmaker Project (IFP), the nation’s oldest and largest organization of independent filmmakers. The Gotham Awards also signal the kick-off to the film awards season.
Nominees are selected by groups of distinguished film critics, journalists, festival programmers, and film curators. Separate juries of writers, directors, actors, producers, editors and others directly involved in making films determine the final Gotham Award recipients.
The 2013 Gotham Awards were announced Monday, December 2, 2013 at the 2013 Gotham Independent Film Awards™.
