Cuomo received the Founders Award “in recognition of his leadership during the Covid-19 pandemic and his masterful use of television to inform and calm people around the world” at the International Emmy Awards on November 23, and liberal celebrities like Ben Stiller, Spike Lee and Robert de Niro praised him in a pre-recorded video.

“You’re the man,” actress Rosie Perez said. “We were all in a crisis, in a panic, and every day you came up in the air, and you offered your strength, your leadership, your guidance and your caring and your heart.”
“Thank you for your leadership during these difficult times,” de Niro said.
