The 2025 Gotham Film Awards celebrated an evening of cinematic achievements, emotional speeches, and surprising wins, with Paul Thomas Anderson's One Battle After Another, starring Leonardo DiCaprio , taking home the top prize of Best Feature. The film led the night with six nominations but walked away with the top honor as its only win.

Accepting the Best Feature award, Anderson admitted he “didn't expect this,” adding that he had begun to wonder what was going wrong as his film missed out in other categories. The ceremony's December 1 date also held personal significance: he wished longtime partner Maya Rudolph a happy anniversary, saying, “Twenty-four years ago I met a lady who made me a better filmmaker.”

Iranian filmmaker Jafar Panahi stole the spotlight, with his film It Was Just an Accident sweeping all three of its nominations, Best International Feature, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Director, just hours after being sentenced in absentia to one year in prison in Iran.

During his speech, Panahi dedicated his awards “to independent filmmakers in Iran and around the world… who risk everything with their faith in truth and humanity.” He reflected on an early student film he destroyed, saying, “I am still here tonight,” expressing gratitude for continuing his work.

My Father's Shadow won both awards it was nominated for: Breakthrough Director (Akinola Davies Jr.) and Outstanding Lead Performance, with Sopé Dìrísù triumphing over actors such as Jennifer Lawrence, Ethan Hawke, and Amanda Seyfried. Wunmi Mosaku won Outstanding Supporting Performance for Sinners, with Ryan Coogler accepting on her behalf. Abou Sangaré won Breakthrough Performer for Souleymane's Story.
