Best Feature: Hurt Locker or A Serious Man
Best Doc*mentary: Can't comment (doc*mentaries bore me)
Ensemble Performance: Hurt Locker or a Serious Man
Breakthrough Director: I have not seen, or even heard of, any of the nominated films.
Actor: Jeremy Renner...
(Ben Foster would be nice, even though I hardly consider his performance to be "breakthrough").
But whatever, nobody cares about the Gotham Independent Awards.
