Gotham TV Awards: ‘Adolescence' Sweeps Limited Series Categories
Adolescence topped the 2025 Gotham TV Awards, sweeping the limited series categories and winning three of the four awards for which it was nominated.
The four-episode series about a teenage boy accused of murder, which became a much-talked-about phenomenon shortly after its streaming debut in March, won breakthrough limited series and lead performance in a limited series (Stephen Graham) and tied for best supporting performance in a limited series (Owen Cooper). It's fourth nomination was for co-star Erin Doherty in the supporting performance category.

Jenny Slate tied with Cooper for the supporting prize, recognizing her performance in Dying for Sex, which was nominated for three awards.
Breakthrough comedy series went to The Studio, while The Pitt won breakthrough drama series.
The Pitt star, writer and producer Noah Wyle and his castmates Katherine LaNasa and Shawn Hatosy accepted the breakthrough drama honor, with Wyle saying that they were the only ones from the Max show at the event. And as he's done throughout the promotion of The Pitt's first season, Wyle highlighted how the show is a 'love letter to first responders … people in the trenches for the past five years,' his voice getting louder as the well-heeled audience at Manhattan's Cipriani Wall Street applauded.
In the comedy categories, Fantasmas' Julio Torres won best lead performance in a comedy series, and Deli Boys' Poorna Jagannathan won best supporting performance in a comedy series.
Accepting the first award of the night, Jagannathan joked that the Gotham Awards are the 'only awards that count' and that 'New York City's opinion is the only one I care about.' She thanked her family and the team behind Deli Boys, which she called a 'little brown show' with 'no message … no point to prove.'
'We got to do what a lot of white actors get to do: We got to play dumb fucks,' she added, noting that the Hulu series had yet to be renewed for a second season. 'The fact that we got to be so ordinary was what made it so extraordinary.'
As in the comedy categories, in the drama categories, the Gotham TV Awards similarly spread the wealth around, with Matlock's Kathy Bates winning best lead performance in a drama series and Black Doves' Ben Whishaw winning best supporting performance.
The Pitt and Matlock were each nominated for three awards, with both shows nominated for breakthrough drama series as well as in the lead and supporting performance drama categories. Neither Whishaw nor Bates were on hand to accept their awards.
Pee-wee as Himself won best original film, while Rebel Ridge's Aaron Pierre was named the winner of outstanding performance in an original film. And Social Studies won breakthrough nonfiction series.
The Gotham Film & Media Institute also presented a number of tributes on Monday night. Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino as well as Hwang Dong-hyuk received creator tributes; Elisabeth Moss and the cast of The Handmaid's Tale accepted the inaugural ensemble tribute; Brian Tyree Henry received the performer tribute; Sheryl Lee Ralph took home the Sidney Poitier icon tribute; David E. Kelley received the visionary tribute, and Parker Posey was honored with the inaugural legend tribute.
Sherman-Palladino and Palladino were honored by Kelly Bishop, Luke Kirby and Gideon Glick, who have each appeared in multiple productions from the team behind Gilmore Girls, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Étoile. All three reflected on their experiences auditioning for the writer-directors. Kirby professed his love for the married creators, saying in part, 'I will love you until the day someone drives a stake into my heart.'
And Bishop, who recalled Sherman-Palladino fighting for her to play Emily Gilmore in Gilmore Girls, said the honor Sherman-Palladino and Palladino received marked a 'celebration of a canon of work that has dazzled audiences and critics alike,' adding that the pair's 'determination to create something unique and everlasting in all shows changed TV.'
Taking the stage to the Étoile theme, Sherman-Palladino joked about retiring and getting divorced with Palladino quipping that in both cases they needed to keep going because of 'gambling debts.'
Posey was honored by her White Lotus co-stars Leslie Bibb and Sam Rockwell who had fun offering their own takes on some of her character's memorable, Southern-accented lines, including 'tsunami,' 'Piper, no' and 'Buddhism.'
'No one sees the world quite the way she sees it,' Rockwell said in part of Posey.
Accepting her legend tribute, Posey riffed on the name of the honor, thanking White Lotus creator Mike White for writing her character and 'believing in a legend,' something she also thanked White Lotus network HBO for.
'Let's keep the arts alive. Let's turn this business into entertainment that everyone can love,' she added. 'I love you New York. I wish I could live here again.'
This marks the second year in which the Gotham Awards have broken out TV honors with a separate ceremony during Emmys season.

Alan Alda, Mike Farrell Among Those Paying Tribute to Loretta Swit: 'A Supremely Talented Actor'
Hollywood is paying tribute to Loretta Swit after news of her death was announced Friday. According to a police report, the M*A*S*H star died of suspected natural causes at her home in New York City, her publicist, Harlan Boll, announced. More from The Hollywood Reporter Renée Victor, Voice of Abuelita in 'Coco,' Dies at 86 Devin Harjes, 'Boardwalk Empire,' 'Daredevil' and 'Gotham' Actor, Dies at 41 Sherry Robb, Literary Agent, Talent Manager and Producer, Dies at 81 Swit appeared in all but 11 episodes of M*A*S*H during its 11-season run, earning two Emmys for her portrayal of Maj. Margaret 'Hot Lips' Houlihan. Notably, she was nominated for 10 Emmys, one for every season she appeared in except season one. After her tenure in the medical war drama, she went on to star in several films, including Freebie and the Bean (1974), Race With the Devil (1975), S.O.B. (1981) and BoardHeads (1998). Alan Alda, Swit's longtime M*A*S*H co-star, paid tribute to her on X. 'Loretta was a supremely talented actor. She deserved all her 10 EMMY nominations and her 2 wins. But more than acting her part, she created it,' he wrote on Friday. 'She worked hard in showing the writing staff how they could turn the character from a one joke sexist stereotype into a real person — with real feelings and ambitions. We celebrated the day the script came out, listing her character not as Hot Lips but as Margaret. Loretta made the most of her time here.' Mike Farrell, who joined the series in season four, shared a photo of the late actress on Instagram, writing, 'Loretta… 1937-2025.' In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, Jamie Farr, who portrayed Corporal Maxwell Q. Klinger in M*A*S*H, said, 'Our dear Loretta was so talented, beautiful and an exceptional friend. There is a void in my life now and I shall always have a very special place for her in my heart. May her memory be eternal.' Also in a statement to THR, Journey Gunderson, the executive director of the National Comedy Center, said, 'Loretta Swit's portrayal of Margaret 'Hot Lips' Houlihan was groundbreaking – bringing heart, humor, and strength to one of television comedy's most enduring roles. Her talent extended well beyond that iconic character, with acclaimed work on both stage and screen that showcased her intelligence, versatility, and passion. That legacy endures through the cultural impact of MASH, which is proudly represented in the National Comedy Center.'

Renée Victor, the actress known for voicing Abuelita in Disney and Pixar's Coco and starring as Lupita in Showtime's Weeds, has died. She was 86. Victor died at her home in Sherman Oaks on Friday night surrounded by her family after a battle with lymphoma, her representative told The Hollywood Reporter.

Victor worked alongside the likes of Xavier Cugat and Perez Prado, who helped popularize Latin music in the States before she and her husband began performing as the duo named 'Ray & Renée' from 1963 to 1973. She began her pivot into television in the 1970s when she hosted Pacesetters, a KTLA program that spotlighted the Chicano movement. Victor went on to be featured in an episode of Masquerade in 1984, Scarecrow and Mrs. King in 1985 and Matlock in 1987. She ventured into voice acting in 1992 with the animated The Addams Family series, with her additional credits including The Doctor, Confessions of a Shopaholic, A Night in Old Mexico and Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones, among others. In 2005, she joined the cast of Weeds, where she starred as Lupita, the housekeeper to Mary-Louise Parker's character. Victor starred in Coco as the protective Aubelita, and the film went on to garner two Academy Awards for best animated feature and best original song, 'Remember Me,' written by Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez. Notably, Coco featured an all-Latin cast. After Disney announced Coco 2 was in development at Disney's Annual Shareholder Meeting earlier this year, Victor showed her excitement for the project on Instagram. 'It was my great pleasure and experience working with the incredibly talented Lee Unkrich and Adrian Molina! We get to do it again,' she wrote, though the official cast for Coco 2 has not yet been confirm. 'This is what we've all been waiting for! I'm so excited! Coco shared a Mexican tradition that is now celebrated around the world in unity. An amazing amount of work and talent goes into the creation of this unique film.' Following the news of her death, Pixar shared a statement in honor of Victor on Instagram. 'We are heartbroken to hear of the passing of Renée Victor, the voice Abuelita in Coco and an incredible part of the Pixar family. We will always remember you,' they wrote Saturday. Gloria Calderón Kellett, whom Victor starred alongside in Prime Video's With Love, shared a heartfelt Instagram post Saturday, recalling when they first crossed paths on the set of The Ortegas and 'she radiated talent, humor and grace.' 'It's hard to say goodbye to the incomparable Renee Victor,' she wrote. 'Years later, she would become my TV mom, Marta, on With Love — a role named after my paternal grandmother. It felt like destiny. She brought that character to life with such warmth, sharp wit, and elegance. And let's be honest — she had the best legs in the biz!' 'Renee was a true pro. A scene-stealer. A joy. A blessing. Her artistry made everything better, and her presence made every set brighter,' she wrote in the conclusion of the post. Survivor include her two daughters, Raquel and Margo.

Joanne Gilbert, ‘The Great Man' and ‘High Cost of Loving' Actress, Dies at 92
Joanne Gilbert, the actress and singer who performed in the hottest nightclubs of her era and appeared alongside José Ferrer in the films The Great Man and The High Cost of Loving, died April 16 in Los Angeles. She was 92. Her father was Ray Gilbert, who won an Oscar for writing the lyrics to 'Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah' from Disney's Song of the South (1946). More from The Hollywood Reporter Renée Victor, Voice of Abuelita in 'Coco,' Dies at 86 Devin Harjes, 'Boardwalk Empire,' 'Daredevil' and 'Gotham' Actor, Dies at 41 Alan Alda, Mike Farrell Among Those Paying Tribute to Loretta Swit: "A Supremely Talented Actor" After signing a seven-year contract with Paramount in 1952, Gilbert was 'introduced' to filmgoers in the splashy George Marshall-directed Western musical Red Garters (1954), starring Rosemary Clooney, Guy Mitchell, Jack Carson and Gene Barry. In the Universal drama The Great Man (1956), Gilbert portrayed the secretary of Ferrer's Joe Harris, a character loosely based on TV-radio host Arthur Godfrey. And in the MGM comedy The High Cost of Loving (1958), she was a friend of the couple played by Ferrer and, making her movie debut, Gena Rowlands. Ferrer directed both films as well. Born in Chicago on July 17, 1932, Joanne Beverly Gilbert and her family came to Hollywood in 1939. Her dad worked for producer Earl Carroll before he joined the Disney songwriting staff, and he went on to write lyrics for such notable songs as 'Casey at the Bat' and the Andy Williams classic 'And Roses and Roses.' After pursuing a career as a fashion model in New York City, Joanne Gilbert attracted attention as a singer at a famed Hollywood hotstop — her dad helped her with her act — leading to her deal at Paramount. 'The Mocambo had one week that wasn't filled, so they decided to let me make my nightclub debut with them,' she said in 1953. 'I was rehearsing with the orchestra when Mr. Morrison, the owner of the nightclub, said he didn't like my costume. 'I was wearing black sequin slacks and a white blouse because it was easy to dance in. But a few hours before I was to go on, they took the scissors and whacked my trousers until they became very short shorts. … it was something different and caused quite a bit of comment.' After making her film debut in Houdini (1953), she sang 'This is Greater Than I Thought' in Red Garters, where her Sheila Winthrop gets involved with a Mexican bandit played by Barry. Three years later, she reunited with Clooney as a guest on the singer's syndicated variety show. Her résumé included the features Good Morning, Miss Dove (1955) and Ride Out for Revenge (1957) and guest spots on The Ford Television Theatre, Bronco, Perry Mason, Follow the Sun, The Outer Limits and Ben Casey. She also headlined at the Waldorf-Astoria in New York and on stages in Las Vegas. Gilbert was married to TV writer and future Barney Miller creator Danny Arnold from June 1955 until their divorce in August 1956 and to producer and TV-production company executive Edward L. Rissien from 1958 until their 1964 divorce. Her father was married to Silk Stockings and Pajama Game star Janis Paige from 1962 until his 1976 death.
