The unofficial start to award season has begun, as the 2018 Gotham Independent Film Awards were handed out Monday night with Hollywood’s A-list in attendance at Cipriani Wall Street in New York.

There were a few surprises throughout the evening as ten competitive awards were presented. In addition, the previously announced 2018 Gotham tributes went to director Paul Greengrass, actors Willem Dafoe and Rachel Weisz, and Industry Tribute to Jon Kamen.
