Noah Baumbach’s “Marriage Story” was the resounding winner at the IFP Gotham Awards, taking four awards including best feature at the annual
New York awards-season kickoff.
Having already given their own speeches — Driver for best actor, Dern as a tribute honoree — they demurred, content to watch Baumbach squirm again while he improvised a few remarks.
Baumbach turned, ultimately, to his actors — “My special effect, my everything is the cast,” he said — and to
Netflix for what he called its “unconditional” support of his film, a portrait of divorce starring Driver and Scarlett Johansson.
