The IFP Gotham Awards on Thursday opened submissions for its 30th annual awards show, which last month shifted to January 2021 because of the pandemic. Organizers also said today that they are introducing a new category, Best International Feature, a director and producers award in which the key roles of director, producer and screenwriter should be based outside the U.S. and are not U.S. citizens.
The Gothams previously staked out a November date as it usually marks the unofficial kickoff to the film awards season. With the shift, nominations now will be revealed November 12 and the awards ceremony is January 11. Submissions for all 2020 awards are open until October 1 for the categories honoring the year’s best in indie film and TV.
Winners from last year included Noah Baumbach’s Marriage Story, Awkwafina for The Farewell and Ava DuVernay’s When They See Us.
