The Gotham TV Winners Set the Consensus to Come

We wish for surprises but there won't be many.

The Gotham TV Winners Set the Consensus to Come

The Studio isn’t about Hollywood in 2025, and Adolescence isn’t about the crisis of stabbings in the UK, not even close. But it doesn’t matter because it tells the story people inside Hollywood want to tell. The Studio makes Hollywood look good and pure and noble, and Adolescence reaffirms the those who run the industry’s idea of the boogie man (white heterosexual men and the sickness of online discourse, which must be censored at our earliest convenience).

I would love it if there was more to award season than that, but alas, 25 years at the job and you get to know a thing or two about how it all works. It’s a game of flattering egos and the money thrown at the people who will best flatter those egos. As Laurie Anderson would say, it is a “perfect little world that doesn’t really need you.” And it doesn’t. Adolescence is a win or Netflix. The Studio is a win for Apple TV+ and Hollywood, and that, as they say, is that.

The other big winner is The Pitt, which is a fairly decent medical drama, though to my mind it is also a reflection of the singular worldview. There isn’t anything wrong with that, particularly, but you know what the point of it is – to use a suspenseful medical drama to slowly inject ideas about policy and politics. It’s been the same story for decades now. At any rate, like Adolescence and The Studio, it, too, will be collecting awards this season, without a doubt.

The Gotham TV awards work much like the Gotham Film Awards. There is a tiny cadre of people chosen to select their choices. Award season responds and builds the consensus based on those choices, which involve like four or five people per category. They list the jury after each win.

These wins aren’t particularly terrible. They’re worthy shows and performances. They do exist in a very small insulated bubble where these stories matter. Maybe that’s the point of the Gothams. They exist for the kinds of people who know what they are at all. Don’t be surprised is most of these wins repeat throughout the year.
