Here is the winner-tally from the Gotham Awards ceremony last night. I was on the nominating committee for Best Breakthrough Performance, and I am thrilled for Anya Taylor-Joy on her win last night. Hugely deserved! This is my second time on this nominating committee and it’s a really fun category because the nominees are just starting out. They are unknowns. A win like this is huge. And see The Witch, if you haven’t.
