Gotham Awards 2024 Nominations: Nominees List

The 2024 Gotham Awards nominations have been announced, with Anora topping the nominees with four nods, including for best feature.

In best feature, Anora faces off against Babygirl, Challengers, A Different Man and Nickel Boys. Nickel Boys is up for three awards in total, with the additional nominations coming in the categories of best director (RaMell Ross) and breakthrough performer (Brandon Wilson). Babygirl and Different Man are up for two awards in total each, with the former also nominated in the best lead performance category for star Nicole Kidman and A Different Man in the supporting performance category for Adam Pearson.

In addition to best feature, Anora is up for best director (Sean Baker), outstanding lead performance (Mikey Madison) and supporting performance (Yura Borisov).

Other films nominated for multiple awards include three-time nominee I Saw the TV Glow and double nominees All We Imagine as Light, Hard Truths and The Fire Inside.

In addition to the competitive awards, the Gotham Awards will also honor Franklin Leonard and The Black List with its Anniversary Tribute in honor of the platform’s 20th year, Denis Villeneuve with its Director Tribute and the cast of The Piano Lesson with the Ensemble Tribute.

Since 2021, the Gotham Awards has recognized performers in gender-neutral categories.

This year, though, marks the first time in several years in which TV categories won’t be presented during the fall awards show, as The Gotham recently broke those out into a separate TV Awards ceremony which takes place in June.

Gotham Award nominees are selected by committees of critics, journalists, festival programmers and film curators.

Separate juries of writers, directors, actors, producers, editors and others directly involved in making films will determine the final award recipients.

Recent Gotham Award winners have included Oscar winners Everything Everywhere All at Once, CODA, Nomadland, Marriage Story, American Factory, Moonlight, Spotlight and Birdman.

The 34th Gotham Awards are set for Monday, Dec. 2 at its longtime home of Cipriani Wall Street in New York.

A complete list of this year’s nominees follows.

Full disclosure: The Hollywood Reporter‘s arts and culture critic Lovia Gyarkye was part of the nominating committee for breakthrough director.
