Refresh for updates… As we await next week’s start of voting for Emmy nominations, the Gotham Television Awards are being handed out tonight in Manhattan. Deadline will be updating the winners in all 12 categories as they are announced during the third annual ceremony unfolding at Cipriani Wall Street. See the list below.
HBO Max leads all platforms with three wins so far tonight, and Netflix — which had a leading 22 Gotham noms — is next with two.
A trio of comedy prizes have been awarded thus far. HBO Max’s I Love LA took the Breakthrough Comedy Series award, and Tim Robinson won his lead performance in that streamer’s The Chair Company. Laurie took the Supporting Performance trophy for Netflix’s Big Mistakes, which came into the evening tied with the streamer‘s miniseries Death by Lightning with a leading four nominations each.
The night’s first telepic award went to Cory Michael Smith, who won Outstanding Performance in an Original Film for HBO Max’s Mountainhead. Shudder’s Reflection in a Dead Diamond then took home the Gotham for Outstanding Original Film, Broadcast or Streaming.
Netflix’s Katrina: Come Hell and High Water won for Breakthrough Nonfiction Series.
Among special honorees tonight, Kerry Washington received for the Spotlight Tribute, and Michelle Pfeiffer accepted the Legend Tribute. Matt and Ross Duffer receive the Visionary Tribute for their work on Netflix’s recently wrapped Stranger Things. Later, Claire Danes will receive the Performer Tribute and the cast of Love Story: JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette will be honored with the Ensemble Tribute.
