The 2025 Gotham Awards have been given out, and they hint at the current state of the Oscars' race. The Gotham Awards may not be able to shift award season narratives on their own, but the awards typically serve as a good barometer of which films are connecting with New York City-based critics and industry voters.
This year, the Gotham Awards were largely dominated by Jafar PaInahi's It Was Just An Accident , which could cement the film's place in the overall race outside of just the International Feature Film category. Other films have picked up steam thanks to their wins, along with one win highlighting just how well an underserved genre might fare at the 98th Academy Awards .
