Song Sung Blue stars Kate Hudson and Hugh Jackman will receive the Musical Tribute at the 35th Annual Gotham Film Awards for their musical performances in Craig Brewer’s biographical musical drama.

Based on a true story, Song Sung Blue follows two down-on-their-luck musicians who form a joyous Neil Diamond tribute band, proving it’s never too late to find love and follow your dreams. Hudson and Jackman, playing the Milwaukee husband and wife duo, are joined by Michael Imperioli, Ella Anderson, King Princess, Mustafa Shakir, Hudson Hensley, Fisher Stevens, and Jim Belushi.

The film is written, directed, and produced by Craig Brewer, alongside producers John Davis and John Fox.

“Kate Hudson and Hugh Jackman deliver performances in Song Sung Blue that are at once powerful, intimate, and deeply human,” said Jeffrey Sharp, Executive Director of The Gotham Film & Media Institute in a statement. “Their connection on screen, and the soulful way they bring this true story to life, channel the timeless music of Neil Diamond while revealing their own artistry and spirit. It’s a film that reminds us how music can uplift and inspire — and we’re thrilled to celebrate their extraordinary artistry with our new Gotham Musical Tribute at this year’s Gotham Film Awards.”

Song Sung Blue, which premiered at the AFI Film Festival on October 26, 2025, will hit theaters nationwide on December 25.

Winners of the 35th Annual Gotham Film Awards will be honored at the awards ceremony at Cipriani Wall Street on Monday, December 1, 2025. Nominees were announced on October 28th, 2025.
