FX’s historical epic “Shōgun,” Marvel’s animated juggernaut “X-Men ’97,” Hulu’s passionate documentary “Black Twitter: A People’s History” and the one-two punch Netflix thrillers “Baby Reindeer” and “Ripley” are among the inaugural nominees for the 2024 Gotham TV Awards.
Among the outstanding performances recognized across multiple genres are Nathan Fielder and Emma Stone in the dark dramedy “The Curse,” Hiroyuki Sanada and Anna Sawai in the historical epic “Shōgun,” and Robyn Cara and Siobhán Cullen in Netflix’s new comedy “Bodkin.” These shows are the only ones to receive two acting nominations each. Other notable mentions include Andrew Scott (“Ripley”), Richard Gadd (“Baby Reindeer”), Kristen Wiig (“Palm Royale”), Ji-young Yoo (“Expats”) and Lily Gladstone (“Under the Bridge”). All nominated series and performers are some of the biggest contenders for this year’s Primetime Emmys race.
“In a historic moment for The Gotham, we’re thrilled to recognize an extraordinary collection of TV series and the brilliant creators responsible for bringing them to the screen,” said Jeffrey Sharp, Gotham’s executive director. “As an organization dedicated to celebrating and nurturing independent media, we know the inaugural 2024 Gotham TV Awards will honor many truly deserving creatives while widening our reach and expanding our impact. We are enormously proud to celebrate the remarkable talent represented in today’s nominations.”
