Best actress winner Awkwafina thanks TheFarewell director Lulu Wang for 'trusting the My Vag girl with your story' GothamAwards
The annual event in early December, hosted by the Independent Filmmakers Project, resembles the Iowa caucus as the first stop on the long and tangled road of awards season. And like in Iowa, many campaigners put on a brave face — in the middle of a snowstorm this year — as they delivered carefully scripted speeches, designed to win approval and gain votes..” The streaming giant managed to wrestle away six trophies for a celebration that is supposed to be devoted to independent story tellers.
Ava DuVernay’s “When They See Us” won best breakthrough series , and Netflix’s “American Factory,” about a Chinese billionaire who opens a new factory in an abandoned General Motors plant, setting off tensions between the owners and the workers, won best documentary. During one of his many trips to the podium, Baumbach thanked Netflix’s chief content officer Ted Sarandos for financing his movie and saving the Paris Theatre, the historic one-screen venue in midtown Manhattan that will now host Netflix releases and parties. The moment, of course, was scripted, a testament to just how formidable Netflix could be — with three other major awards titles in the form of “The Irishman,” “The Two Popes” and “Dolemite Is My Name” — in this year’s Oscars race.
“Holy shit!” Awkwafina said. “Oh my god, I didn’t write anything and they were like, ‘You should write something!’ Oh my god. I never won anything. I can’t even win an argument in the Instagram comments.”
