The 34th Annual Gotham Awards, presented by the Gotham Film & Media Institute, were held on December 2, 2024. The nominees were announced on October 29, 2024.
Angelina Jolie, Denis Villeneuve, Timothée Chalamet, James Mangold, Zendaya, the cast of the film The Piano Lesson, Franklin Leonard and his company The Black List, and the cast of the film Sing Sing received tribute awards.
Compared to the previous year, this ceremony included two additional competitive categories: An award for Best Director was given out for the first time, while the award for Breakthrough Performer, which had already been presented between 1998 and 2022, returned. Additionally, with the creation of the separate Gotham TV Awards in 2024, the Gotham Awards exclusively include film awards; all TV award categories, which were presented at the Gotham Awards until last year's ceremony, are given out at the Gotham TV Awards going forward.
