The 22nd Annual Gotham Independent Film Awards, presented by the Independent Filmmaker Project, were held on November 26, 2012. [1] [2] The nominees were announced on October 18, 2012. [3] [4] The ceremony was hosted by Mike Birbiglia. [5] [6]
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. [7] [8] The event, specifically the joke and what that transpired around it, later formed a large part of Birbiglia's show, Thank God for Jokes. [9] [10] [11]
Host Mike Birbiglia shocked and delighted the audience with his opening monologue at the IFP Gotham Awards Monday night when it slowly became apparent that he was reciting honoree-of-the-evening David O. Russell's notorious tirade against Lily Tomlin from the set of I Heart Huckabees.
During his opening monologue…Mike Birbiglia sarcastically likened the rant to a famous quote by Elia Kazan ('A film director has to get a shot, no matter what he does') and then recited [Russell's confrontation with Lily Tomlin], without omission of [expletives].
In 'Thank God for Jokes,' he recounts the kerfuffle that ensued when he hosted the 2012 Gotham Awards and roasted David O. Russell, who was one of the honorees.
