Penelope Cruz has got talent. And with their actual ceremony still many months away, Independent Film Labs has already announced its intention of honoring the Spanish actress with a Gotham Tribute Award.”Penélope’s body of work embodies what is exciting and vibrant about?filmmaking today, in particular independent filmmaking” Michelle Byrd, executive director of IFP announced to E!

Career-wise, things are looking up for Penelope these days.
