Anne Hathaway to Receive Santa Barbara's 2027 American Riviera Award
Anne Hathaway is set to receive the American Riviera Award at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival. The festival's 42nd edition runs from February 3 to 13, 2027, according to Deadline, which reported the honorees on 11 November 2026.
Hathaway will take part in an in-person tribute and conversation on February 5, 2027, to celebrate her career. The event will focus on her performance as Penelope in Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey. She also appeared alongside Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada 2.
The festival has named several other honourees for 2027. John Malkovich will receive the Outstanding Performer of the Year Award for his work in Wild Horse Nine. His tribute is scheduled for Friday, February 12, at 8:00 p.m., according to the festival's website.
Andrew Garfield is set to receive the Maltin Modern Master Award. His tribute is listed for Saturday, February 6, at 8:00 p.m., also on the festival's website.
The festival also named eight recipients of its 2027 Virtuoso Awards. They are Carrie Coon, Mariana di Girolamo, Rosalind Eleazar, Jordan Firstman, Anthony Ippolito, Jaafar Jackson, Inde Navarrette and Kate O'Flynn.
The honours sit inside a festival that runs for just under two weeks. Most of the tributes are set for evenings, and the Hathaway event is a conversation rather than a screening, so audiences will hear the honourees speak about their own work. Dates and programme details can change, so anyone planning a trip should check the festival's listings before booking.
