Brendan Fraser To Receive Spotlight Award at 2023 Palm Springs International Film Awards

Etonline.com: The 2023 Palm Springs International Film Awards is set to honor some of the biggest stars and most impressive performances of the year.

The awards ceremony -- run in conjunction with the Palm Springs International Film Festival -- will be held at the Palm Springs Convention Center starting on Jan. 5, 2023. The event will be presented by American Express and sponsored by Entertainment Tonight and IHG.

The festival will open with the red carpet premiere of 80 For Brady, with stars Jane Fonda, Sally Field, Rita Moreno and Lily Tomlin scheduled to attend. The first night of the festival will also feature the awards ceremony -- co-hosted by ET's own Kevin Frazier and Nischelle Turner -- which will honor stars like Colin Farrell, Viola Davis, Michelle Yeoh, Austin Butler and more.

Brendan Fraser will be honored with the Spotlight Award, Actor for his performance in director Darren Aronofsky's drama, The Whale.

"Brendan Fraser demonstrates his impressive talent in Darren Aronofsky’s powerful adaptation of The Whale. Fraser gives an extraordinary and haunting performance that paints a vivid portrait of our inability to escape our own sadness," said Festival Chairman Harold Matzner. "For this award caliber performance, it is our honor to present the Spotlight Award, Actor to Brendan Fraser."

Past recipients of the Spotlight Award, Actor include Bryan Cranston for Trumbo and Andrew Garfield for Hacksaw Ridge, both of whom went on to receive Academy Award nominations for Best Actor.
