Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert’s freewheeling “Everything Everywhere All at Once” was named the best independent film of the year at the 2022 Gotham Awards, which took place at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City on Monday evening.
“Aftersun” director Charlotte Wells won the Bingham Ray Breakthrough Director award, while the prize for breakthrough performer went to Gracija Filipovic for the Croatian drama “Murina.”
In the other two gender-neutral acting categories, Danielle Deadwyler from “Till” won the lead-performance award and Ke Huy Quan from “Everything Everywhere All at Once” won for supporting performance.
That acting win made “Everything Everywhere” the only film to win more than one award, and gave the A24 film a boost at the first major awards ceremony of the season.
