Film Industry: Jury Award and Hilary Clinton

film industry: The Gothams, which honour independent film, are essentially the kick-off to Hollywood long awards season, according to The Chronicle Herald. Monday night ceremony, hosted in Manhattan by Keegan-Michael Key, also served as the first opportunity for the film industry or at least a sizable chunk of its more East Coast, indie contingent to formally gather since the election. A celebrated film about a boy growing up gay, black and poor in Miami, Moonlight, virtually swept the night, taking best feature, best screenplay, a special jury award for best ensemble and the audience award. It gave much of Hollywood which overwhelmingly backed Hilary Clinton a chance to commiserate over drinks, try out punchlines and make a rallying cry for art political power. Ladies and gentlemen, we are so grateful that we live in a country that celebrates diversity, said Key. Key, half of the former Comedy Central duo Key and Peele, opened, with deadpan sarcasm, with what he said was a 4-week-old monologue. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
