The Gothams are the first awards out of the gate, announced on December 2nd at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City, and "A Different Man" was chosen as Best Feature. This dark, comedic drama from Aaron Schimberg features Sebastian Stan as a facially disfigured actor who undergoes a medical procedure to transform his appearance. But this causes him to lose an opportunity to play a dream role. While there were ten nominees in each of the two non-gender specific acting categories, only one winner was selected for the lead and supporting prizes. And it was Colman Domingo and Clarence Maclin winning for their performances in "Sing Sing", a drama directed by Greg Kwedar involving a group of incarcerated men involved in the creation of theatrical shows through the prison's arts program. This indie-focused awards organization removed a budget cap on eligibility last year, opening larger budgeted films to be considered for prizes.
