Special Gotham Jury Award - The Ensemble Cast of Spotlight


Thoughts: Spotlight, Carol and Brie Larson begin their runs. There seems to be a lot of buzz around Love and Mercy and Paul Dano's performance in it. I wonder how far that film can go. So happy to see Blythe and Lily here. I hope they go all the way to the Oscars.
