Awards season is now officially into the “awards” phase, as the Gotham Awards kicked off last night in cheery fashion. The New York-based ceremony celebrates the makers of independent film and has become an early staple of the season, with the last three Best Feature winners in a row going on to win the Best Picture Oscar. Now there’s no voter overlap so that doesn’t mean much in and of itself, but it is a reflection of how indies have dominated the Academy Awards in recent years.

The critically acclaimed Call Me by Your Name got its season off to a terrific start last night, taking home the Best Feature prize as well as the Breakthrough Actor award for Timothée Chalamet. But it was a close call when it came to the big award as Get Out had been dominating all night, taking home Best Director and Screenplay for Jordan Peele as well as the Audience Award. Anyone who thinks Get Out isn’t a major Oscar movie should take this as a wakeup call—it’s a big deal, and it’s going to be a big deal for the next few months.

Elsewhere Saoirse Ronan picked up Best Actress for her brilliant turn in Lady Bird, while James Franco deservedly nabbed the Best Actor trophy for his phenomenal work in The Disaster Artist, which I do really hope is a harbinger of recognition to come. Franco’s done a lot over the past few years, but this is quite possibly his best performance to date.

Check out the full list of Gotham Awards winners below and check back later for the National Board of Review’s end-of-year honors. Then next week we’ve got the Critics Choice nominations and AFI Awards. It’s happening, folks!
