Inspiring Motion Pictures Among the Gotham Awards Victors

Those Gotham Awards last night really set the crowd-pleasing tone, With a favourite win for the trio of ladies, Colman, Weisz and Stone.

Great victory, too, for Ms. Collette, we’ve all been right behind her, As for Best Feature, be honest, none of you predicted The Rider.

People haven’t gasped that loud since that revelation from Darth Vader, But at last we’re seeing love for Ethan Hawke and Paul Shrader.
