Last night, the winners of the 32nd AnnualGotham Awardswere announced at a ceremony held at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City. The event traditionally celebrates independent filmmaking that produces movies with a budget under $35 million. The award is also one of the first to eliminate gender-specific categories, and putting together a bigger list of actors who compete in the same category for a trophy.
The highlight of the night was the surprise hitEverything Everywhere All At Once, which was nominated in three categories and won two of them.Ke Huy Quanwon in the Outstanding Supportive Performance, a category in which he was competing with heavyweights likeMark Rylance(forBones and All),Hong Chau(forThe Whale), andJessie Buckley(forWomen Talking). The wild-ride sci-fi movie also took home the biggest prize of the night: Best Feature. The prize was expected, since the movie has been celebrated as one of the best of the year ever since it premiered back in March.The Daniels-directed movie was also the only one to score a double win this year.

Field created an entire biopic dedicated to a fictional composer: Lydia Tár, played by two-time Academy Award winnerCate Blanchett.
