2013 IFP Gotham Award Winners

3 out of the last 4 Gotham Winners (last year's Moonrise Kingdom was the exception), have made it into the Best Picture race at the Oscars since the category re-expanded. So Inside Llewyn Davis, which already has the Coen's behind it, seems like it is going to have an impact on this very tight race, and yes, I am already eating crow. Nice wins for Matthew McConaughey (who might emerge as the one to beat this season), and Michael B. Jordan who is fighting for a slot. Ryan Coogler and Brie Larson are outside Oscar contenders looking to battle their way in, and this win helps them with some positive press.
