The Oscars landscape for Jordan Peele’s Get Out is unclear at this point, but it got a little bit of a boost thanks to three victories at the 2017 Gotham Awards. The film won Best Screenplay, Breakthrough Director, and the Audience Award, cementing its status as one of the year’s most popular movies.
Luca Guadagnino’s coming of age Italian romance, Call Me By Your Name, also had a big night, taking Best Feature over some stiff competition that included The Florida Project, Get Out, I Tonya, and Good Time. Rising star Timothee Chalamet also won Breakthrough Actor for his performance in Guadagnino’s film. Saoirse Ronan earned Greta Gerwig’s Lady Bird its only win in the Best Actress category, while James Franco’s oddball turn in The Disaster Artist earned him Best Actor.
