Emily Blunt will be honored at the Palm Springs International Film Festival with the Creative Impact Award. Variety will honor the actress on Friday, January 4 as part of their annual brunch with the festival at the Parker Palm Springs.
“No actor has had a bigger year than Emily Blunt in 2018,” said Variety co-editor-in-chief, Claudia Eller. “From playing a mother fighting to save her family’s life in A Quiet Place to tackling one of cinema’s iconic characters in the musical Mary Poppins Returns, Emily Blunt has proven to be a versatile and commanding actress who can cross genres easily and with great success.”
The 35-year-old star will join Daniel Kaluuya, Charlize Theron, Mark Wahlberg, and Steve Carell as the recipient of the annual award.
Blunt has had a great year receiving SAG nominations for both roles and a Golden Globe nomination for Mary Poppins Returns.
