Yes, the first annual Gershwin Prize for Popular Song went to Paul Simon, in 2007.

There's an entry for the video release at imdb, which lists a bunch of musicians, but no mandolin credit. Someone may recognize his name. There's a glowing summary there:

In May of 2007 the Library of Congress gathered an unprecedented group of musicians together in Washington, D.C., to honor Paul Simon as the first recipient of the Gershwin Prize for Popular Song. Alison Krauss, Stevie Wonder, Lyle Lovett, Ladysmith Black Mambazo, Marc Anthony, Art Garfunkel and a host of others joined Paul onstage in a multicultural tribute to the music of a great American artist and a great American art form. This gala event, called "the greatest night of popular music ever presented in our nation's capital," was beautifully filmed and captured with stunning 5.1 Surround Sound for a truly pure concert experience.

Hmmm ...could be Mark Stewart. He's played on three of Paul Simon's albums, and he's listed in the credits at imdb. Photos look like him.
