The 2025 Gotham Film Awards nominations are in — and Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another leads the pack with six nods, the most of any film this year.
The Warner Bros. Pictures thriller scored in major categories including Best Feature, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay, with acting nominations for Benicio Del Toro and Teyana Taylor in Outstanding Supporting Performance and Chase Infiniti in Breakthrough Performer. Despite the film’s strong showing, its lead Leonardo DiCaprio was notably left out of the acting categories.
We previously announced that the cast of Sinners will receive this year’s Gotham Ensemble Tribute, and now it’s official — Wunmi Mosaku has earned an individual nomination for Outstanding Supporting Performance, standing as the only cast member recognized in competition.
And its worth noting that two projects A$AP Rocky starred in are being represented at the awards show, If I Had Legs I’d Kick You is up for Best feature and he himself is up for breakthrough performer for Highest 2 Lowest.
This year’s Tribute honorees also include Noah Baumbach, Tessa Thompson, and Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein.
The 35th Gotham Film Awards will take place Monday, December 1, 2025, at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City, officially kicking off the 2025–26 awards-season race.
