French actress Juliette Binoche will be honored on February 11 during the Goya, the Spanish Oscars, where she will receive a prize rewarding "her extraordinary trajectory", the Academy of Spanish Cinema announced on Wednesday.
The 58-year-old interpreter who won an Oscar in 1996 for
The English Patient
by Anthony Minghella, an "indisputable reference in European cinema", will receive an "International Goya" at the ceremony held this year in Seville, in the south of the country.
This award has only existed for two years and was awarded in 2022 to Australian actress Cate Blanchett.
