Jessica Chastain will receive this year’s TIFF Tribute Actor Award, TIFF co-heads Joana Vicente and Cameron Bailey announced on Thursday.
The 2021 TIFF Tribute Awards will take place during the 46th edition of the Toronto International Film Festival, from Sept. 9-18.
“Jessica has brought to life such strong and inspiring roles for women, from the films that have screened at TIFF such as ‘The Debt,’ ‘Take Shelter,’ ‘The Martian,’ ‘Crimson Peak’ and ‘Molly’s Game,’ to the upcoming World Premiere of ‘The Eyes of Tammy Faye’ at the festival,” Vicente said. “She is one of the most respected actors of her generation. Her recent portrayal of Tammy Faye is a testament to her exceptional onscreen presence and talent.”
Previous recipients of the TIFF Tribute Actor Award include Meryl Streep, Joaquin Phoenix, Kate Winslet and Sir Anthony Hopkins. TIFF also recently announced that activist Alanis Obomsawin and filmmaker Denis Villeneuve would receive Tribute Awards.
