Past Lives won big at the recently concluded Gotham Awards. It won the top prize for Best Feature at the awards ceremony while the acting honours went to Charles Melton for his supporting performance in Todd Haynes’ May December and Lily Gladstone for her lead performance in The Unknown Country.

On behalf of thePast Lives team, writer-director Celine Song came to collect the big prize and said in her speech, “Thank you, Gotham, for this award. It’s such an honour. It really means the world to receive it with my debut set in New York City, a city I live in and love deeply.” She was joined on the stage by two of the film’s stars, Greta Lee and John Magaro.
