American actress Meryl Streep will receive another distinction in her career on May 14, 2024. At the 77th Cannes Film Festival, she will be awarded an honorary Palme d’Or in tribute to her magnificent career.

Streep won the Cannes best actress award 35 years ago for her role as Lindy Chamberlain in Fred Schepisi’s “A Cry in the Dark” in 1989.

The 77th Cannes Film Festival will be held May 14-25, 2024, at the Palais des Festivals in Cannes. French actress Camille Cottin will host the opening and closing ceremonies.

The honorary Palme is awarded by the festival’s leadership. It is given outside the competition to an individual rather than a film. As of May 8, 2024, about a dozen figures had received it.

Along with Streep, American filmmaker George Lucas will receive an honorary Palme for his career. The festival will also give an honorary Palme to Studio Ghibli for its body of work and influence on animation, the first honorary Palme ever awarded to a collective.

Streep has won three Oscars, two for best actress. She won her first for “Sophie’s Choice” in 1983 and her second best actress Oscar in 2012 for “The Iron Lady.” In 1980, she won the Oscar for best supporting actress for “Kramer vs. Kramer,” also winning a Golden Globe in the same category. Streep has 33 Golden Globe nominations, a record.

At 74, Streep is one of the best actresses of her generation. She is the most-nominated performer in Oscar history, men and women combined, with 21 nominations, 17 of them for best actress.
