During the gala organized by the Better World Fund in Cannes, Kevin Spacey will receive the prestigious award Award for Excellence in Film and Television. The ceremonial dinner with the award ceremony will take place on May 20 and will be part of the 10th anniversary celebrations.
As the organizers announce, Spacey will be honored for his “artistic genius” and “influence on cinema and art”.
“We are really honored that we can welcome Kevin Spacey as our honorary guest” – emphasized in the official statement Manuel Collas de la Roche, founder of Better World Fund. “Kevin’s extraordinary contribution to film art has left the mark on both the audience and filmmakers. His talent, depth and commitment to telling stories are an example of the transformational power of the film. With great enthusiasm we celebrate his legacy and presence at this significant meeting.”
Although the Cannes festival itself has not yet officially confirmed whether Spacey will appear on the red carpet, speculation is already circulating. His presence in Cannes coincides with another important event – the announcement of the actor’s participation in the new film “The Awakening”, a conspiracy thriller who is just looking for buyers in Cannes.
In “The Awakening” Spacey will play alongside Peter Stormare and Alice Eve. Plot? Jason (Justin Tinto) and Rebecca (Eve) come across the trail of a global conspiracy, which leads them through the Dark Labyrinth of Secrets. Time works to their disadvantage, and the truth may be more disturbing than they thought.
This is one of the first major projects of the actor since his career has been inhibited by serious accusations. Two years ago, Kevin Spacey was cleared of allegations after the trial in Great Britain. Now it seems that Hollywood (or at least part of the industry) repeals his door again.
