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."
