2017 IFP Gotham Awards Announce Additional Tributes: Dustin Hoffman to Receive Actor Tribute and Sofia Coppola to Receive Director Tribute
Earlier this week we announced that two-time Academy Award® and six-time Golden Globe winning actor Dustin Hoffman will receive the Actor Tribute and Academy Award® nominated director Sofia Coppola will receive the Director Tribute at the 2017 IFP Gotham Awards to be held on Monday, November 27, 2017, at Cipriani Wall Street, New York City.
"We are thrilled to present Dustin Hoffman with the Actor Tribute. Starting with his breakthrough role in the timeless classic The Graduate to his highly praised turn in his upcoming film, The Meyerowitz Stories, Dustin's wide range of roles - often portraying antiheroes or the marginalized - and the creative choices he has embodied in these complex characters, has firmly placed him amongst the most compelling actors to have graced the screen," said Joana Vicente, Executive Director of IFP and the Made in NY Media Center.
"We are equally delighted to present Sofia with the Director Tribute this year. Sofia continues to shatter the glass 'lens' in our industry, being only the second woman in Cannes history to win Best Director. From the indelible impression her films have on audiences, to her singular vision and aesthetic, which underscore her subtle commentary on society and culture, Sofia has made a lasting contribution to the art of film."
