Noah Baumbach’s divorce comedy-drama takes four key awards at indie film awards that serve as an early Academy Awards bellwether
Marriage Story, the divorce comedy-drama starring Adam Driver and Scarlett Johansson, has consolidated its position as strong Oscars frontrunner by picking up four wins at the Gothams, awards designed to reward independent film-making.
Marriage Story won in all four categories it was nominated: best feature, best actor for Driver, best screenplay for writer-director Noah Baumbach, and the audience award. Johansson, however, was not nominated for best actress: the winner in that category was Awkwafina, the lead in China-set comedy drama The Farewell.
