2015 IFP Gotham Independent Film Award Nominations

The Diary of a Teenage Girl

The nominations were announced today for the first awards of the season, the Gothams. Their concentration and consideration lies mainly in the indie or character driven movie stratosphere with occasional big Oscar dramas in the mix. At this point, there is no point to say what was missed and what should have been there or whose presence or absence means what in the times to come but just relish it all. Personally, I haven't seen many of the nominees yet. The Diary of a Teenage Girl has the most nominations, my most anticipated movie event of the year... Carol has some mentions too along with Spotlight, Tangerine and Heaven Knows What. The latter one I have seen. Also glad to see Paul Dano get some love as well as The Mend and Arielle Holmes. The as-of-now lead actress frontrunners Cate Blanchett and Brie Larson are nominated too as well as actors from films like Experimenter, James White, 99 Homes, Grandma, I'll See You in My Dreams etc. Catch all of these nominated movies people, below is the full list:
