The 2023 Gotham Awards took place on Monday night at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City. The event marked the beginning of award season, honoring avant-garde cinematic brilliance and outstanding performances. Organized by the Gotham Film & Media Institute, the event was a star-studded affair with the presence of some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry.

Celine Song’s critically acclaimed film ‘Past Lives’ took home the honor of Best Feature. Lily Gladstone was awarded for her Outstanding Lead Performance in ‘The Unknown Country,’ while Charles Melton was honored with the Best Supporting Performance for ‘May December’. Notably, there were no male or female categories as awards embraced a gender-neutral approach to acting categories, with ten nominees each for lead and supporting performances.

Celine Song, who made her directorial debut with ‘Past Lives,’ expressed her earnest gratitude while accepting the top honor. She called the film a deeply personal experience about an extraordinary feeling that has been shared with the world. “This is the first film I’ve ever made and a very personal film about an extraordinary feeling I had in an ordinary bar in the East Village, not too many blocks away from here. As this film has been shared with the world, it has taught me—and taught us—that you’re never alone in that extraordinary feeling,” she said.
