The Santa Barbara International Film Festival will hand its 2015 Outstanding Performer of the Year Award to Steve Carell for his transformative performance in Bennett's Miller's Foxcatcher.
SBIFF executive director Roger Durling says of Carell, “He’s made us laugh for so many years with his great comedic abilities, but he shows this year that his range and artistry runs deep with his career-changing performance in Foxcatcher. He is unrecognizable physically and emotionally.”
Previous Outstanding Performer Award recipients at Santa Barbara include Cate Blanchett, Jennifer Lawrence, Viola Davis, James Franco, Colin Firth, Penelope Cruz, Angelina Jolie, Helen Mirren, Heath Ledger, Kate Winslet and Charlize Theron. The Santa Barbara festival runs January 27-February 7.
