The Australian star Cate Blanchett, twice Oscar winner, will receive on January 25, 2022 an honorary César for her career and her commitments, on the occasion of the 47th Césars Ceremony, announced Friday, December 17 Canal + and the Academy of Césars. 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 Personality “absolutely remarkable“, they write.
Cate Blanchett, 52, is “a multifaceted artist, who works in cinema, television, theater”, recalled the Academy of Caesars. The actress will receive this distinction as she “just finished production of the film TARE directed by Todd Field“and that she plays a psychoanalyst in Guillermo Del Toro’s new film Nightmare alley which will be released on January 19, 2022.
The attribution of this reward is also due to its commitment “outside the trays” for “women’s rights or ecology“, explain the organizers. The star was particularly illustrated in the fight of women against sexual violence in the cinema, in particular since the Weinstein affair. In 2018, while she chaired the jury of the 71st Cannes film festival, she had climbed the famous steps with 81 other women of the 7th 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 47th Césars ceremony, broadcast by Canal + will be held on the stage of the Olympia in Paris and will be presented by Antoine de Caunes.
