Who gets the Gotham Film Awards musical tribute? ‘Michael’ team

Variety reports that the 36th Annual Gotham Film Awards will present the Gotham Musical Tribute to the cast and creative team of the Michael Jackson biopic “Michael.”

The recipients named are director Antoine Fuqua, actors Colman Domingo, Jaafar Jackson and Nia Long, and producer Graham King. The tribute will be handed out on Nov. 30 at Cipriani Wall Street in New York City.

The category debuted in 2025 for Hugh Jackman and Kate Hudson in “Song Sung Blue.” “Michael,” written by John Logan, also stars Laura Harrier, Juliano Krue Valdi and Miles Teller. It was produced by Graham King, John Branca and John McClain and has reportedly grossed more than $1 billion globally, making it the highest-grossing biographical film of all time, with a sequel in development.

Other 2026 Gotham tributes include a Director Tribute for Danny Boyle and an Anniversary Tribute for Laika Studios. Nominees for the 36th Gotham Film Awards will be announced Oct. 27.
