## Ceremony information

Compared to the previous year, this ceremony will include two additional competitive categories: An award for Best Director will be given out for the first time while the award for Breakthrough Performer, which had already been presented between 1998 and 2022, will be returning. Additionally, with the creation of the separate Gotham TV Awards in 2024, the Gotham Awards will exclusively include film awards; all TV award categories, which were presented at the Gotham Awards until last year's ceremony, are given out at the Gotham TV Awards going forward.
