Susan Sarandon to be honoured at Spain's top film awards
Veteran Hollywood star Susan Sarandon will receive the international prize at Spain's top film awards next month for her "extraordinary" career and "brave political and social commitment", the Spanish Cinema Academy announced on Wednesday.
The Oscar-winning US actor, 79, will be honoured at the 40th Goya awards in Barcelona on February 28 for representing "the perfect combination of talent and professional success, glamour, and social and political commitment", the Academy said in a statement.
Her career includes "unquestionable masterpieces, iconic films that have entered popular culture, and cult gems", the Academy said, listing "The Witches of Eastwick", "The Client" and "Atlantic City" among her "legendary titles".
The Academy also highlighted Sarandon's "versatility, her voice in numerous causes and her taste for risk and experimental cinema", such as her role in feminist classic "Thelma and Louise".
Sarandon won the 1996 Best Actress Oscar for "Dead Man Walking", where she played a nun who supports a man sentenced to death.
The Academy also called her a "staunch defender of human rights". Sarandon was a vocal critic of what she called "genocide" in Gaza and waded into debates about free speech and the death penalty in the United States.
She will join Cate Blanchett, Juliette Binoche, Sigourney Weaver and Richard Gere among foreign stars to win the international prize at the Goyas.
