The movie awards season officially begins with the announcement of the nominations for the Gotham awards. While not all of the awards contenders are out yet (I’m expecting to see “La La Land” and “Fences” do well), this is a good indicator of the direction we are likely to see this year. I was especially happy to see one of my favorites of the year, “Everybody Wants Some!!” on the list, and the special ensemble award for the extraordinary cast of “Moonlight.”
