If you are available to attend the ceremony, please let us know, as well as to provide us with the names of your three guests. (Security is extra tight this year, with honoring Al Gore and all, and everyone's names have to be on the list to attend). Thanks so much, and look forward hearing more on this.

As per Peggy Siegal's office, I have included here the invitation to the IFP Gotham Awards ceremony, which will be held on Monday, November 27 at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City. This year's ceremony is going to be another successful event. We couldn't be more thrilled with this year's impressive group of Tributees. The Actress Tribute will go to Nicole Kidman and the Actor Tribute to Dustin Hoffman. The Director Tribute will be given to Sofia Coppola, with the Cinematographer Tribute going to Ed Lachman. With the Industry Tribute, we will be honoring Jason Blum, founder of Blumhouse Productions. And we simply couldn't be more pleased to honor Vice President Al Gore with this year's special Humanitarian Tribute. With nominees this year ranging from Willem Dafoe, Adam Sandler and Robert Pattison to Margot Robbie, Lois Smith and Mary J. Bilge, this year's ceremony looks to be the most star studded ever. Please let me know if you have any questions.
