Last night, Dec. 1, was the Gotham Film Awards, and celebrities don’t ever miss a chance to get dressed up.

The 35th annual event is presented by the Gotham Film & Media Institute and is known for its focus on independent filmmaking, often budget-friendly. It’s also one of the first major awards of the season, giving an early look at some up-and-coming works that offer a good sense of breakout stars that will soon be on everyone’s radar.

Stars flooded the ballroom of New York’s Cipriani Wall Street to champion films, and that included Black Panther director Ryan Coogler, who was on hand because Sinners was honored with the Gotham Ensemble Tribute.

It’s not a competitive category, but is given to a cast that, as a whole, does a stellar job. In his acceptance speech, he shouted out his entire cast and everyone who put in hard work on the film.

“Whenever I gotta do this, I’m always reminded how much of a blessing it is to have actors who can say lines on camera,” he began. “For a long time, movies were how I traveled the world. I didn’t get a passport until I was like 22. When I was in film school, I felt like I had traveled through movies and, whenever I watch a movie from the time that I was young, I knew that actors and their performances were the mode of transportation.”

He added, “I wanna thank the Gotham Awards for giving the cast this honor and giving me the opportunity to say thank you to these incredible performers.”
