Gotham Independent Film Awards 2012

The 22nd Annual Gotham Independent Film Awards, presented by the Independent Filmmaker Project, were held on November 26, 2012. The nominees were announced on October 18, 2012. The ceremony was hosted by Mike Birbiglia.

During the award ceremony, host Mike Birbiglia roasted Russell by reading a transcript of Russell's argument with Lily Tomlin that occurred on the set of I Heart Huckabees. The event, specifically the joke and what that transpired around it, later formed a large part of Birbiglia's show, Thank God for Jokes.
