[The Daily] Call Me and Get Out Lead Gotham Awards

If, as Variety’s Ramin Setoodeh suggests, the Independent Filmmaker Project’s Gotham Awards are “the Iowa caucus of Oscars season,” then the frontrunners of the moment are Luca Guadagnino’s Call Me by Your Name and Jordan Peele’s Get Out. The latter’s won three, and the former only two, but one of them’s the big one, best feature. Here are all the nominees, with the winners in bold.

The evening also saw a tribute to Sofia Coppola. For the Hollywood Reporter, Ashley Lee talks with Coppola about The Beguiled, “crafting the female gaze and dipping into new mediums.” And IndieWire’s Eric Kohn talks with her as well: “It’s funny, because my dad and George Lucas were both into shooting digitally years ago, but my brother and I love film so much. And they’re so over it.”
