The Nora Ephron Award went to director Ruthy Pribar for her feature, Asia. The award was created seven years ago to honor excellence in storytelling by a female writer or director who embodies the spirit and boldness of the late filmmaker. The full list of films and filmmakers honored are highlighted below.

"We are fortunate that technology allowed for our jury to come together this year to honor our filmmakers," said Tribeca Film Festival Co-Founder and CEO Jane Rosenthal. "Despite not being able to be together physically, we were still able to support our artists, which has always been at the heart of the Festival."

"The jury chose to recognize a daring, innovative, entertaining, diverse group of films and filmmakers, and the Festival is pleased to honor all of them with our first ever virtual awards ceremony."

Tribeca's Art Awards, in partnership with CHANEL, honor winners in select categories with original pieces from ten world-class artists, a tradition since the Festival's beginning. This year's selections were curated by notable gallerist Vito Schnabel.
