Baby Reindeer, Colin from Accounts and Mr. and Mrs. Smith Win at Inaugural Gotham TV Awards
Baby Reindeer, Colin from Accounts and Mr. and Mrs. Smith were among the big winners tonight at the inaugural Gotham TV Awards, held in New York City at Cipriani 25.
A new awards event mounted by The Gotham Film & Media Institute, Filmmaker‘s publisher, The Gotham TV Awards were announced just this past April and honor creators of episodic TV, limited series, and non-theatrical streaming movies. Going forward, the Gotham TV awards will continue in this early June slot, before the Emmy voting window, while the organization’s long-standing Gotham Awards will remain the first Monday after Thanksgiving. This year’s Gotham TV Awards featured prizes in six categories along with three tributes. Next year’s Gotham TV awards will be a fuller program incorporating the small-screen prizes given at the Fall event. (In 2023, Beef and A Small Light were the winners of the two Breakthrough Series prizes.)
Among the tribute recipients tonight were actress Mariska Hargitay, who has played Detective Olivia Benson in the NBC drama Law and Order: Special Victims Unit for 25 years. Lulu Wang received a tribute for creating, executive producing and directing the Hong Kong-set Amazon drama. And, finally, Peter Morgan was tributed for creating and show running the Netflix series The Crown.
