2010 Gotham Awards Winners

I thought I had the winners for this year's Gotham Awards locked down pretty well, with The Kids Are All Right taking the big prizes. Instead, Winter's Bone ended up snatching the major awards for Best Film and Best Ensemble. How The Kids Are All Right didn't end up winning the latter, I haven't a clue. Then again, I didn't really expect a lighthearted film to win in comparison to a more gritty one. This could be the boost that Winter's Bone needs to get into the final ten for the Best Picture race in the Oscars this year, but it will depend on a film falling out of running due to not-quite-outstanding quality. For the list of nominations, follow the link here.
