The Hurt Locker was up for three Gotham Awards and went away with two wins – one for Best Feature and the other for Best Ensemble Performance. Jeremy Renner was bested by Catalina Saavedra for her work in The Maid in the Breakthrough Actor category.
With the two wins, it only helps Locker‘s cause in getting some Oscar love next March.
In the Documentary category, Robert Kenner’s Food, Inc. beat out such documentaries as Good Hair and Tyson.
Wrestler scribe Robert Siegel received the Gotham Award for Breakthrough Director for his film Big Fan, starring Patton Oswalt.
Ry Russo-Young’s You Won’t Miss Me took the Best Film Not Playing at a Theater Near You award, which comes with a $5,000 cash prize.
In addition to the six awards, career tributes were presented to actors Natalie Portman and Stanley Tucci, Kathryn Bigelow and producers Tim Bevan and Eric Fellner.
