The 27th annual Gotham Awards appeared headed for a sweep for Jordan Peele's social thriller "Get Out," but the sensual coming-of-age tale "Call Me By Your Name" swooped in to take best feature film at the first major soiree of Oscar season. The last three best feature winners at the Gothams have gone on to win best picture at the Oscars: "Moonlight," ''Spotlight" and "Birdman." It came in with a leading five nominations, including best feature, and it left with the largest haul. While early, this year's awards season has been especially slanted toward independent film, with a few notable exceptions. The Gotham Awards, presented by Independent Filmmaker Project, also honored with a tribute award "Get Out" producer Jason Blum, the successful horror-film producer of Blumhouse Productions.
