Director Kaouther Ben Hania’s Four Daughters from Kino Lorber then took Best Documentary Feature.

Coincidentally, Netflix’s Beef took the first two small-screen awards. It won for Breakthrough Series –Under 40 Minutes and Outstanding Performance in a New Series, which went to Ali Wong. She beat out her co-star Steven Yuen and eight others for the gender-neutral prize.

National Geographic’s A Small Light picked up the Gotham for Breakthrough Series – Over 40 Minutes.

Gotham Awards Nominations: ‘All Of Us Strangers’ Tops Movie List; Ryan Gosling Gets ‘Barbie’ Nom With Budget Caps Removed

It’s the first ceremony in a decade with no budget caps for eligibility, leading to a more star-studded event than usual that saw Ryan Gosling with a Supporting Performance nomination for Barbie and Penelope Cruz for Ferrari.

The October nominations and late-November ceremony are industry bellwethers, coming at the start of awards season following fall festival buzz.

The 33rd annual event is handing out a new set of awards tonight called Icon & Creator Tributes. George C. Wolfe (Rustin) — produced by President Barack and Michelle Obama’s Higher Ground — Michael Mann (Ferrari) and Ben Affleck (Air) have been honored so far, with Greta Gerwig (Barbie), Bradley Cooper (Maestro) and Killers of the Flower Moon still to come.

The disappearance of the decade-old budget cap, which most recently had been set at $35 million, is the biggest change. Announcing the shift last summer, the Gotham Film & Media Institute said it was meant “to broaden our reach in terms of recognition and accessibility to the wider community.” Many bigger-budget films opted not to submit, including Oppenheimer, Killers of the Flower Moon, Napoleon and The Color Purple.

Here are the winners revealed so far, followed by the remaining nominees:
