The Gotham Television Awards were handed out Monday night at the Cipriani Wall Street in Manhattan, marking an important step as Hollywood inches closer to September’s Emmy Awards.
Netflix led with 22 nominations heading into the evening, but it was HBO Max that walked away with the most trophies at five. Netflix settled for silver with three wins, followed by Hulu, which was the only other platform to earn multiple prizes.
HBO Max’s “DTF St. Louis” was the only show to win more than one award. The suburban mystery took home Outstanding Limited or Anthology Series and Outstanding Supporting Performance in a Limited or Anthology Series for David Harbour.
The platform had another big winner with Rachel Sennott’s irreverent comedy “I Love LA,” which earned the Breakthrough Comedy Series award. The remaining series prize, Breakthrough Drama Series, went to Apple TV’s “Pluribus,” from “Breaking Bad” mastermind Vince Gilligan.
On the acting side, Tim Robinson won Outstanding Lead Performance in a Comedy Series for work in HBO Max’s “The Chair Company.” The supporting comedy prize went to Laurie Metcalf for her performance in Netflix’s “Big Mistakes.”
“The Testimates” star Chase Infiniti earned the lead performance honor for a drama series, and her supporting actor counterpart was Babou Cessay, who won for FX’s “Alien: Earth.”
Finally, in the limited series or anthology category, Michael Shannon emerged victorious in the lead actor race for his performance as President James A. Garfield in Netflix’s historical drama “Death by Lightning.”
