(Paris) The Australian star Cate Blanchett, twice Oscar winner, will receive on January 25, 2022 a César of honor for his career and his engagements, on the occasion of the 47e Ceremony of the Césars, announced Friday Canal + and the Academy of Césars in a press release.
The actress and producer, who notably won two Oscars in 2005 and 2014 for her roles in The Aviator by Martin Scorsese and Blue jasmine by Woody Allen, will receive the Honorary Award for Lifetime Achievement and “Outstanding Outstanding” Personality, they write.
Aged 52, Cate Blanchett is “a multifaceted artist, who works in cinema, television, the theater,” recalls the Academy of Caesars.
The actress will receive this distinction after she “has just finished producing the film. TAR directed by Todd Field ”and that she plays a psychoanalyst in Guillermo Del Toro’s new film Nightmare alley released today.
The attribution of this reward is also due to its commitment “outside the platforms” for “women’s rights or ecology”, explain the organizers.
The star is particularly illustrated in the fight of women against sexual violence in the cinema, in particular since the Weinstein affair. In 2018, when she chaired the jury of the 71e Cannes Film Festival, she had climbed the famous Cannes steps with 81 other women from the 7e Art, in favor of equality.
In addition, she holds the role of goodwill ambassador for UNHCR, the United Nations refugee agency and was honored in 2018 with the Crystal Prize at the World Economic Forum in Davos for her work and dedication.
The 47e Césars ceremony, broadcast by Canal + will be held on the stage of the Olympia, in Paris and will be presented by Antoine de Caunes.
