Honors
– Mel Brooks is set to receive the BAFTA Fellowship, the British Academy’s highest honor. He will be presented with the fellowship at the upcoming BAFTA awards ceremony, taking place on February 12.
“I am not overwhelmed, but I am definitely whelmed by this singular honor,” said Brooks in a statement. “To be included among such iconic talents is absolutely humbling. In choosing me for the 2017 Fellowship I think that BAFTA has made a strangely surprising yet ultimately wise decision.”
Brooks joins a list of BAFTA Fellowship honorees including Charlie Chaplin, Alfred Hitchcock, Steven Spielberg, Sean Connery, Martin Scorsese and Stanley Kubrick. Last year, Sidney Poitier was the recipient of the fellowship honor.
– Two-time Academy Award nominee Jessica Chastain will receive the “CinemaCon Female Star of the Year Award,” at CinemaCon, the official convention of The National Association of Theatre Owners (NATO). The event will be held March 27 – 30, 2017 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.
Chastain will be presented with this special honor at the “CinemaCon Big Screen Achievement Awards” ceremony taking place on the evening of Thursday, March 30, at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, hosted by the Coca-Cola Company, the official presenting sponsor of CinemaCon.
