The Gotham Awards 2025 has announced nominations for their 35th annual edition. The announcements were done on social media. This year will include 40 feature films, 25 performances in ten categories with ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER receiving a record 6 nominations. The Best Feature category will include 10 nominees this year up from five.

In announcing this year's nominations, Jeffrey Sharp, Executive Director of The Gotham Film & Media Institute, said: "This year's nominees celebrate an extraordinary year of cinematic achievement — one defined by bold, original storytelling, festival breakouts, and filmmakers whose independent vision extends across studios and streamers. This year's Gotham nominees, and our Gotham Tributes, reflect the year's most accomplished filmmakers and performers and embody the community that has defined The Gothams for 35 years."

Film critics, journalists, festival programmers and film curators select the nominees. Separate juries of writers, directors, actors, producers, editors, and other film industry professionals will determine the final recipients of The Gothams.

The Gothams Tributes, which will also be presented at the ceremony, are the organization's highest honors celebrating outstanding achievement in film. The Tributes recognize the industry's most accomplished creators and performers whose work has made an indelible impact on both the art form and popular culture.
