Holly Hunter will be joining Allison Janney and Gal Gadot in Palm Springs. A press release has announced that Oscar winner Hunter will be receiving the Career Achievement Award at the Palm Springs International Film Festival (PSIFF). The actress will accept the prize at the Film Awards Gala on January 2.

“Holly Hunter’s career is filled with many memorable performances including her Academy Award-winning role in ‘The Piano’ as well as other films including ‘Broadcast News,’ ‘The Firm,’ ‘The Incredibles,’ and more,” stated Festival Chairman Harold Matzner. “In her recent film ‘The Big Sick,’ she brings comedy and poignancy as a mother coping with her daughter’s coma, while bonding with her daughter’s ex-boyfriend. It is our great honor to present the Career Achievement Award to Holly Hunter.”

Annette Bening, Glenn Close, Sally Field, and Lynn Redgrave are among the past Career Achievement Award recipients.

Janney will be taking home the Spotlight Award-Actress at this year’s Gala and Gadot will be honored with the Rising Star Award.

Hunter won the Best Actress Oscar for “The Piano.” She also netted nods for “Thirteen” and “Broadcast News.” There’s a good chance she’ll receive a nomination for her supporting role in “The Big Sick.” The two-time Emmy winner is signed on to star in the upcoming HBO multicultural family drama, “Here, Now.”

PSIFF runs from January 2–15, 2018.
