Really hope there is no bad blood between Michelle and Vachon. Really hope they get to work together again.

If she can get an Indie Spirit nom too, that'd be amazing!!
Really a nice surprise!! If this doesn't go any further, I'm glad that at least her work in Kyra was recognized by a group like Gotham

Looking at past ceremonies, it looks like only the people who have a clear shot at winning attend and maybe just a couple of other nominees who also present an award, maybe they tell the winners ahead of time? I hope she goes but won't hold my breath. In any case, they will have a live stream of the entire ceremony on their Facebook page: www.facebook.com/ifpfilm/ - So even if she isn't there we can at least her her name called and hear what people have to say about her performance.

Who knows...I'm not sure anyone was expecting this. I certainly wasn't. One of the articles called Gotham the Iowa caucus of Awards season where the strong players first establish themselves. Maybe this will make everyone, even Michelle, give the film another go.

I was thinking the same thing re: more people seeing the film. There was a surge of buzz when the blu-ray came out. My review of the theatrical released from April started getting more hits...I'm hoping that this thrusts both her name (for other nominations and/or projects) and the movie forward.

I can understand why Michelle could not like the final cut of the film. I would like the film more and more, withou that music and without the cinematography being so dark. The film would be more accessible. But it's true that her performance is Oscar Worthy, she is superb in the movie and I like very much what the movie explains: the more adult and, especially, poor people are forgotten and isolated in the human world. This movie has an important message.

And now a laugh. Seems that our 'beloved' Scott Feinberg is a little anger with the nomination of Michelle !!!! He says that it's strange that Julia Roberts it's not nominated for her widely acclamed role in 'Ben is Back', he,he. He says that, after all, this are the Gothams, ah, he,he. Maybe he is angry with Michelle because she din't want to do an interview with him. Seem that Scott can have a great ego... www.hollywoodreporter.com/race/gotham-awards-analysis-favourite-is-roma-is-1153309

Any awards attention is a good thing in this case. The Gotham nomination may not lead to any others but at the very least, it puts her performance on the radar screen. Maybe now more Academy voters will take the time to plop in a Kyra screener and stay with it to the end. I’m not taking any bets but maybe her agent will convince her to reconsider and appear at some Academy screenings with Q & A sessions afterward. Until now though, Michelle had little to no momentum. No promotion on her part whatsoever, a weak distribution deal that took forever to close, and a throwaway release date. Hard to imagine an Oscar worthy performance with tougher odds against it.
I’m not a fan of Scott Feinberg but I found his article helpful in understanding the Gotham Awards philosophy and voting process. It’s a bit muddy and dysfunctional to say the least. No Best Director category (only a Breakout Director) and different committees nominating the actors. And they make no distinction between Lead and Supporting actors. I didn’t detect any anti-Pfeiffer bias in Feinberg’s writing but he may not be a fan of the film or her performance. Or maybe he hasn’t seen it yet. Hard to tell. Then again, Julia Roberts, Melissa McCarthy and Viola Davis could be telling their agents and PR teams to forward every positive review to his inbox.
Honestly, without some show of public support from Michelle, this could be a one and done situation unless there is a groundswell of Academy voters who feel she is long overdue for recognition.
* Apologies for liking my own post. I hit the wrong tab.

But you're right, he does have a big ego. He's a bit of a mess on Twitter.

I hit the wrong tab. Not only Academy voters, but maybe pundits like Anne Thompson, who have a lot of influence on the perception of these races, will actually finally watch the film. I asked her and she said nope, still hasn't bothered to watch. I just don't get that. You cover films, Hollywood and awards for a living, why wouldn't you make sure you watch just about everything, especially after the reviews were so good?

I think that Feinberg's point of signing out Michelle was to illustrate the Gothams as a whole. They honor work that ppl may have missed and will have trouble remembering in the coming months. That's what they're about as an awards body, which I've always loved them for.
I agree with Michael...this is such a happy surprise, given how there was no promotion for this tiny film which came out back in April. It makes me open to the possibility of better things. I know the chances for Michelle going forward are slim to none, but still...you never know.
Earlier this morning, I got a press release announcing the new members of the New York Film Critics' Circle. The group is headed by Eric Kohn, who is the Editor of Indiewire. He also serves on the jury of the Gotham awards and was an early champion of Michelle's performance when he saw Kyra at back at Sundance. I'm almost certain her name will at least be in the conversation when the NYCC starts their voting process, especially since Kyra is such a New York story.
Maybe, maybe not. But at least she didn't go completely unnoticed

Glenn Whipp also had a piece on the Gotham Awards for the LA Times and this part stuck out: "Because voters like to spotlight unconventional films and performances, it would have been great to see Maggie Gyllenhaal win some love for her terrific titular turn in “The Kindergarten Teacher.” But that voting panel went in a different direction. (Michelle Pfeiffer boosters do take loyalty to another level.)" I might have something to do with that comment, I tweeted to him a few times when the LA Film Critics were voting last year, Lol. www.latimes.com/entertainment/envelope/la-en-mn-gold-standard-newsletter-gotham-awards-first-reformed-20181019-story.html

If only he understood the slings and arrows of Pfandom. One reluctant star, many insatiable admirers. As I said before, this nomination is sweet justice for a film that deserved better treatment and a performance that deserves recognition. I always read way too much into things but I'm hoping the Gotham nom will open the door to more Indie work for her, assuming she's not averse to long hours and small paychecks. That's where the really good roles are now.

The fact that she managed to get a Gotham nomination in a somewhat crowded field gives me hope that she could win a few critics awards. LAFCA has the tendency to give their Best Actress prize to a somewhat obscure movie. And NYFCC could appreciate New York-ness of the movie. The movie and her performance have that cool and snub factor that critics love to champion. She wouldn't need a big campaign if she manages to get those two critics awards.

The movie and her performance have that cool and snub factor that critics love to champion. She wouldn't need a big campaign if she manages to get those two critics awards. I agree. Here is the NYFCC membership list. www.nyfcc.com/membership/ It includes Eric Kohn who gave her a nice review out of Sundance but isn't really that high on the film itself, Bilge Ebiri who of course gave Pfeiffer and the film a rave review, David Edelstein who called Pfeiffer's performance "Stunning", David Fear who raved her for Rolling Stone and was one of the jury members who voted for Best Actress at the Gotham Awards, and Joshua Rothkopf who gave her a great review for TimeOut New York. They also just added Tomris Laffly as a member and she loved Pfeiffer's performance and has tweeted about it a few times since Sundance. So she will no doubt be in the discussion. Big question is if the other members have even seen the film. She could at least get a runner-up mention. LAFCC membership includes Justin Chang who called her "brilliant" in his review and Christy Lemire who said it's her career best work for RogerEbert.com. And here is what Joshua Rothkopf had to say about the Gotham Best Actress lineup:

From a recent article about the Gotham Awards: "Presented by the Independent Film Project, the Gotham Awards mark the start of the precursor season each year. Though hardly the most important word in who and what are nominated for Academy Awards, at this early junction, any citation is important. Perception as a contender goes a long way right now, here in October. If anything, just getting noticed here is important, as long as you’re a smaller title looking for love." www.hollywoodnews.com/2018/10/22/can-we-learn-anything-about-this-years-oscar-race-from-the-gotham-nominations/
