What Are the Gotham Awards?
The Gotham Awards originally celebrated independent film, but since 2023, the awards have split into two separate ceremonies: the Gotham Film Awards and the Gotham TV Awards. The TV Awards focus exclusively on brand-new series, with no returning shows eligible. This approach shines a light on fresh voices and groundbreaking work in television, often serving as a bellwether for the upcoming Emmys, as both share the same eligibility period.
