Leonardo DiCaprio's gritty film One Battle After Another is leading the Gotham Award nominations.

The list was shared on Tuesday morning and the awards will be given out on December 1 in New York.

Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another has a total of six nominations, which is the most ever in Gotham's history.

The movie has been recognized in the categories Best Feature as well as acting nods for Benicio Del Toro, Teyana Taylor and Chase Infiniti.

The film centers on Bob (DiCaprio), a washed-up revolutionary who lives in a state of stoned paranoia, surviving off-grid with his self-reliant daughter, Willa.

(L-R) Benicio del Toro, Chase Infiniti, DiCaprio, Teyana Taylor at the One Battle After Another premiere at Odeon Luxe Leicester Square in London in September 

When his evil nemesis resurfaces and Willa goes missing, the former radical scrambles to find her as both father and daughter battle the consequences of their pasts 

Past best feature winners have included Spotlight (2015), Moonlight (2016) and Everything Everywhere All at Once (2022), all of which went on to win best picture at the Oscars. 

The removal of budget caps has changed the nominations, allowing for big-budget movies like One Battle After Another - which costs over $130 million - to compete.

The other films nominated for best feature, which now has 10 nominees, include Bugonia, East of Wall, Familiar Touch, Hamnet, If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, Lurker, Sorry, Baby, The Testament of Ann Lee and Train Dreams.

The best director category includes Mary Bronstein (If I Had Legs I’d Kick You), Jafar Panahi (It Was Just an Accident), Kelly Reichardt (The Mastermind), Paul Thomas Anderson (One Battle After Another) and Oliver Laxe (Sirât).

Jessie Buckley (Hamnet), Rose Byrne (If I Had Legs I’d Kick You), Ethan Hawke (Blue Moon), Jennifer Lawrence (Die My Love), Amanda Seyfried (The Testament of Ann Lee) and Tessa Thompson (Hedda), among others, were also nominated for their acting.

Supporting performance nominees include Jacob Elordi for Monster in Frankenstein and Adam Sandler for Jay Kelly.

And a father and son will be competing: Alexander Skarsgård (for Pillon) is in the same acting category as his father Stellan Skarsgård (for Sentimental Value).

Breakthrough performers include A$AP Rocky (Highest 2 Lowest) and Abou Sangaré (Souleymane’s Story).

Marty Supreme was not submitted because the film starring Gwyneth Paltrow and Timothee Chalamet was not finished on time for committee members to vote on.

The Gotham Awards are American film awards, presented annually to the makers of independent films at a ceremony in New York City, the city first nicknamed Gotham by native son Washington Irving, in an issue of Salmagundi, published on November 11, 1807.
