Moments ago, the 2025 Gotham Film Awards came to an end at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City with Paul Thomas Anderson‘s One Battle After Another taking the Best Feature prize. The film (which is currently the frontrunner Joey Magidson’s Oscar Prediction for Best Picture) went home with its first major award of the season. Leading the way with three wins and emerging victorious from all of the categories it was nominated in was Jafar Panahi‘s Palme d’Or winner It Was Just an Accident.
