Beginners and The Tree of Life Best Feature at the 2011 Gotham Awards
There was a tie last night at the Gotham Independent Film Awards. Best Feature Film went with Mike Mills‘ Beginners and Terrence Malick‘s The Tree of Life. It’s always terrible when best film has to come down to a tie. It means that there truly wasn’t a best film. In this case though, I thought it was alright. Tree of Life isn’t a traditional film by any means and perhaps this was a way to award it’s originality. The other winners for evening follow.

Best Documentary: Better This World
Best Ensemble: Beginners
Breakthrough Actor: Felicity Jones, Like Crazy
