Looks like Julianne Moore is going to have to make storage space for yet another prestigious award. The Hollywood Reporter writes that the Oscar-winning actress is set to receive Giffoni Film Fest’s Francois Truffaut Award, the fest’s top prize. Based in the south of Italy, the Giffoni is dedicated to children and teens passionate about filmmaking.
Moore won an Academy Award in 2015 for her portrayal of a linguistics professor diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease in “Still Alice.” She’s also earned nominations for “Far from Heaven,” “The Hours,” “The End of the Affair,” and “Boogie Nights.” She took home an Emmy and Golden Globe for depicting Sarah Palin in HBO’s “Game Change.”
Past recipients of the Francois Truffaut Award include Hilary Swank, Susan Sarandon, and Meg Ryan.
Amy Adams is also being recognized at the Giffoni Film Festival this year. She’ll receive the Experience Award.
Moore will take home her honor July 16. The fest runs from July 14–22. Her newest film, “Wonderstruck,” premiered to rave reviews at Cannes. The drama centers on the mysterious connection between a young boy in the Midwest and a young girl in New York and will hit theaters October 20.
