The Palm Springs International Film Awards announced on Monday that Cate Blanchett will receive the Desert Palm Achievement Award, Actress for Todd Field’s “Tár,” in which she plays a driven orchestra conductor.

Colin Farrell will receive the Desert Palm Achievement Award, Actor at the Palm Springs International Film Awards on Jan. 5, the Palm Springs International Film Festival announced Wednesday.
Farrell will receive the award for his performance in Martin McDonagh’s “The Banshees of Inisherin,” in which he plays a plodding man of simple tastes whose daily trips to the pub take a dark but humorous turn when his best friend (played by Farrell’s “In Bruges” costar Brendan Gleeson) suddenly says he doesn’t want to be friends anymore.
The award is the first to be announced by this year’s Palm Springs awards, which will kick off the 2023 Palm Springs International Film Festival in the desert resort community east of Los Angeles. The awards were not held in 2021 or 2022 because of the Covid-19 pandemic, but will return to the Palm Springs Convention Center in January.
