Santa Barbara, California — The Santa Barbara International Film Festival (SBIFF) announced on November 11 that Oscar winner Anne Hathaway will receive the festival's American Riviera Award. She will be feted with an evening of clips and conversation at Santa Barbara's historic Arlington Theatre on Friday, February 5, 2027. The 42nd Santa Barbara International Film Festival will take place February 3-13, 2027.

The American Riviera Award was created by SBIFF to celebrate actors who have made a significant contribution to American cinema. "Anne Hathaway has always impressed me with her theatrical sophistication, unwavering commitment, and remarkable versatility as a performer," SBIFF executive director Roger Durling said in a statement. "In The Odyssey, she delivers a breathtaking performance, one that stands among the finest of her career, channeling simmering rage and profound emotional complexity into a portrayal that is at once fierce, vulnerable, poignant and unforgettable."

In Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey, Hathaway plays Penelope, the wife of Odysseus. The film marks her third collaboration with Nolan, following 2012's The Dark Knight Rises and 2014's Interstellar. Her remarkable 2026 has also included the films Mother Mary, The Devil Wears Prada 2, The End of Oak Street and Verity, an adaptation of Colleen Hoover's bestselling novel.
