Gotham Awards 2021 Winners List – The Hollywood Reporter

Netflix’s The Lost Daughter, directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal, dominated the 2021 Gotham Awards in New York on Monday night.

The film, which went into the event as a five-time nominee, won four awards, including the top prize of best feature.

Meanwhile, fellow Netflix title, Passing, which also had five nominations, went home empty-handed as did three-time nominee Test Pattern, from Kino Lorber.

Apple’s CODA won two of the three awards for which it was nominated.

On the TV side, the Gotham Awards is among the first awards bodies to recognize buzzy new series Squid Game, The White Lotus and Reservation Dogs, which each scored two nominations.

For this year’s awards, the performance categories are now gender-neutral and the Gothams added two more TV categories.

The Gotham Awards honored Power of the Dog director Jane Campion, Spencer star Kristen Stewart, Magnolia exec Eamonn Bowles, the cast of The Harder They Fall, Cyrano star Peter Dinklage, The Actors Fund and, posthumously, activist and filmmaker Kathleen Collins with the Gothams’ first Icon Tribute.

Julianne Moore and Spencer director Pablo Larraín presented Kristen Stewart with the performer tribute award.

“To work opposite her is to feel truly seen and partnered. She elevates everything,” Moore said. ”What she presents onscreen and in life is sometimes challenging to people because it’s like she’s skinless. She demonstrates a truth that can feel uncomfortable, but cool at the same time because she’s cool right. I mean, there’s no one cooler than her.”

“Kristen changed my life,” Larraín added. “You’re a fucking miracle of cinema.” 

Summer of Soul director Questlove took to the stage to highlight the Quest Love EDU Scholarship in partnership with iHeartMedia and Gotham. The scholarship awards full tuition to five undergraduate students of color currently enrolled at historically black colleges and universities, in which they will also have the opportunity to attend an 8-week summer workshop program to apply practical skills in media production and storytelling.

“I would first like to commend the Gotham Awards for eliminating gender from their awards categories because true talent shines through the constructs meant to separate us,” said Asia Kate Dillon presenting the award for outstanding performance in a new series, an award that was ultimately awarded to…
