SBIFF: Virtuosos Award

Wednesday, February 15, 2023, 08:00pm

The Virtuosos Award is an honor created to recognize a select group of talent whose noteworthy performances in film have elevated them into the national cinematic dialogue. This year's honorees are Austin Butler (ELVIS), Kerry Condon (THE BANSHEES OF INISHERIN), Danielle Deadwyler (TILL), Nina Hoss (TÁR), Stephanie Hsu (EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE), Jeremy Pope (THE INSPECTION), Ke Huy Quan (EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE ALL AT ONCE), and Jeremy Strong (ARMAGEDDON TIME). They will discuss their work and receive their awards in-person on Wednesday, February 15, 2023 during the 38th Santa Barbara International Film Festival. The evening will be moderated for the 13th year by Dave Karger, Turner Classic Movies host and Entertainment Weekly awards correspondent.

“This year’s group of Virtuosos is unique in that they’ve all been performing for years and in some cases decades. It’s an impressive bunch that proves you can have a breakout moment at any point in your career. I’m sure they’ll all have memorable and inspiring stories to tell,” remarked Dave Karger.

The last three year’s Virtuosos honorees were Caitriona Balfe, Ariana DeBose, Jamie Dornan, Alana Haim, Ciarán Hinds, Emilia Jones, Troy Kotsur, Simon Rex, Saniyya Sidney, Riz Ahmed, Maria Bakalova, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Andra Day, Sidney Flanigan, Vanessa Kirby, Tahar Rahim, Zendaya, Awkwafina, Taron Egerton, Cynthia Erivo, Beanie Feldstein, Aldis Hodge, George MacKay, Florence Pugh, and Taylor Russell.

The 38th Santa Barbara International Film Festival will take place LIVE February 8 - February 18, 2023. Official events including screenings, filmmaker Q&As, industry panels, and celebrity tributes, will be held throughout the city, including at the historic Arlington Theatre. Passes and tickets for the 2023 Festival are on sale now.
