Gotham Film Awards Nominations: ‘One Battle After Another’ Leads With a Record Six Nods
The 2025 Gotham Film Awards nominations have been revealed.
Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another leads this year’s nominees with a record six nominations, including in the top category of best feature. Anderson is also nominated for best director and adapted screenplay, with Benicio Del Toro and Teyana Taylor both nominated in the Gothams’ gender-neutral best supporting performance category. Scene stealer Chase Infiniti is also nominated for breakthrough performer.
In the best feature category, One Battle After Another faces off against four-time nominee If I Had Legs I’d Kick You as well as double nominees Familiar Touch; Hamnet; Sorry, Baby; The Testament of Ann Lee; and Train Dreams, in addition to Bugonia, East of Wall and Lurker. This year, the Gothams upped the number of best feature nominees from five to 10.
In addition to best feature, If I Had Legs I’d Kick You is up for best director and original screenplay (Mary Bronstein) and lead performance (Rose Byrne).
Other films receiving multiple nominations include three-time nominees It Was Just an Accident and No Other Choice and double nominees Secret Agent and My Father’s Shadow.
Since 2021, the Gotham Awards has recognized performers in gender-neutral categories.
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 No Other Land, Everything Everywhere All at Once, CODA, Nomadland, Marriage Story, American Factory, Moonlight, Spotlight and Birdman.
In addition to the competitive awards, the Gotham Film Awards previously announced that a number of individuals and films would receive special tribute honors.
Noah Baumbach will receive the director tribute for his work on Jay Kelly, Tessa Thompson is being honored with the spotlight tribute for Hedda, Frankenstein will receive the Gotham Vanguard Tribute and the cast of Sinners will receive the ensemble tribute.
“This year’s nominees celebrate an extraordinary year of cinematic achievement — one defined by bold, original storytelling, festival breakouts and filmmakers whose independent vision extends across studios and streamers,” Gotham Film & Media Institute executive director Jeffrey Sharp said. “This year’s Gotham nominees, and our Gotham Tributes, reflect the year’s most accomplished filmmakers and performers and embody the community that has defined The Gothams for 35 years.”
The 35th Gotham Film Awards is set to take place on Monday, Dec. 1, at its longtime home of Cipriani Wall Street in New York.
A complete list of this year’s Gotham Film Awards nominees follows.
Full disclosure: The Hollywood Reporter‘s reviews editor and film critic Jon Frosch was part of the nominating committee for original and adapted screenplay and THR critic Jourdain Searles was part of the nominating committee for lead and supporting performance and breakthrough performer.
