Cate Blanchett to be honored with Lincoln Center’s Chaplin Award

This sounds like a dream.

Cate Blanchett will be honored by Film at Lincoln Center this spring with the 47th Chaplin Award, the organization announced in a press release Friday.

The 52-year-old “Nightmare Alley” star, who’s won two Oscars and been nominated for five more, will receive the award on April 25 at Lincoln Center’s Alice Tully Hall during the Chaplin Award Gala, the organization’s most important fundraising event. It will serve as “a joyful celebration of the actor’s incredible filmography,” the release read.

“The event promises to be an extraordinary recognition of an actor who has portrayed some of the most memorable characters committed to film.”

“We are thrilled to welcome Cate Blanchett back to Film at Lincoln Center, where three of her films have previously screened as part of the New York Film Festival,” Lesli Klainberg, Executive Director of Film at Lincoln Center, said in the release. “Ms. Blanchett’s career includes extraordinary performances in films ranging from small independent efforts to major studio franchises and with some of the most renowned directors of our time. It is our privilege to dedicate an evening of celebration to her, and add one more accolade to her many well-deserved awards.”

All of the gala’s proceeds go to the organization’s “mission to support the art and craft of cinema,” according to the release.

The “Nightmare Alley” star won Academy Awards for her roles in “Blue Jasmine” and “The Aviator,” and was nominated for her roles in “Carol,” “I’m Not There,” “Elizabeth: The Golden Age,” “Notes on a Scandal,” and “Elizabeth.”

The gala started in 1972, honoring the eponymous Chaplin upon his return to America from exile. Now, Blanchett will join the likes of honorees Alfred Hitchcock, Martin Scorsese, Diane Keaton, Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks as well as Morgan Freeman, and most recently, Spike Lee.
