The Gotham Tribute Awards will be given to Sofia Coppola, Nicole Kidman, Edward Lachman, Jason Blum, Dustin Hoffman, and Al Gore. The nominees are selected by film critics, journalists, curators, and festival programmers. Those directly involved in the filmmaking process will determine the final Gotham recipients.
