Gotham Awards: Winners Announced!

The 24th Annual Gotham Independent Film Awards were handed out Monday night, December 1st. The Group bestows six kudos plus an audience award.

As previously announced, a special Jury Award for Ensemble Performance was awarded to the cast of "Foxcatcher". Meryl Streep presented the honor (listed as a special prize because "Foxcatcher" falls outside the realm of independent film) to Steve Carell, Channing Tatum, and Mark Ruffalo.

Three tributes helped fill out the ceremony. One to "Foxcatcher" director Bennett Miller. Another to actress and indie film queen, Tilda Swinton. And a final speech for Netflix's Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos.
