The critically acclaimed “Adolescence,” which recently set its Emmys acting campaigns, saw nods for Stephen Graham, along with breakout newcomer Owen Cooper and Erin Doherty.

Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson landed two nominations. One for “Ladies & Gentlemen…50 Years of SNL Music” and the other for “Sly Lives! (aka The Burden of Black Genius).”

“Building on the success of last year’s inaugural ceremony, the Gotham Television Awards returns with new categories, expanded tributes, and a larger stage to celebrate the creators and artists making their mark on today’s television landscape,” said Jeffrey Sharp, Executive Director of The Gotham. “As the first awards show of the new television season, we are proud to bring together the industry’s most exciting new voices, celebrate breakthrough achievements, and deepen our commitment to supporting the creative community.”

Now in its second year, the awards have introduced the inaugural category of outstanding original film, broadcast or streaming which will honor original features aired or transmitted for the first time during the eligibility period on television (network, basic cable, pay cable, pay television, pay-per-view, interactive cable, broadband) or digital distribution through internet streaming platforms. This will also be the first year the Gothams will honor an outstanding lead or supporting performance in an original film.

Nominees were selected by committees of film and television critics, journalists, festival programmers, and film curators. Separate juries of writers, directors, actors, producers, editors, and others directly involved in making television will determine the final Gotham Television Awards recipients. Tributes will be given to Amy Sherman-Palladino, Daniel Palladino, Hwang Dong-hyuk, as well as others that will be announced in the coming weeks.

The Gotham 2025 Television Awards Ceremony will be held live and in person at 7 p.m. on June 2 at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City.
