Our pals at the Independent Filmmaker Project (IFP) jump-started awards season with the 2016 GOTHAM INDEPENDENT FILM AWARDS, their annual event honoring the best indie projects and performances of the year. The big show took place on November 28, 2016, at Cipriani Wall Street in Manhattan, hosted by Keegan-Michael Key.
