The nominees have officially been announced for the 30th Annual IFP (Independent Filmmaker Project) Gotham Awards. And for the first time in Gotham Awards history, all five Best Picture nominees are directed by women. The ceremony will be held on January 11, 2021, live from Cipriani Wall Street New York. The show will be presented in a hybrid format, with virtual interactive tables to reduce physical contact due to Covid-19.

First Cow, directed by Kelly Reichardt, leads the field with a total of four nominations. The other Best Picture nominees include The Assistant from Kitty Green, Never Rarely Sometimes Always from Eliza Hittman, Nomadland from Chloé Zhao, and Relic from Natalie Erika James.

“We congratulate the 2020 IFP Gotham Award nominees. In this unprecedented year we look forward to bringing the industry together and shining a light on some incredible films and television shows," said Jeffrey Sharp, Executive Director of IFP in an official statement.
