Award season has swung into gear with the Independent Filmmaker Project’s announcement of the 20th anniversary Gotham Independent Film Award nominees. The Gotham Awards celebrate American independent feature films, and in past years have drawn attention to films such as The Hurt Locker, Food, Inc. and Capote, all of which went on to gather major awards season buzz—and wins.
In addition to the six usual categories, 2010 marks the first year for the Festival Genius Audience Award; the winner will be decided by an online vote, and eligible films include those which have won an Audience Award within the past year. The recipient will be announced at the Gotham Awards ceremony on Monday, November 29th. Nominees for the Festival Genius Audience Award are to be announced in November.
