Laura Dern to get award at Dingle International Film Festival tonight

The actress was praised for her “impeccable performances across a broad range of characters”.

ACTRESS LAURA DERN is to be given an award celebrating excellence in film at the Dingle International Film Festival tonight.

The Oscar-nominated star of Jurassic Park, Blue Velvet, Rambling Rose, The Fault in our Stars, and television series Enlightened will be presented with the Gregory Peck Award by director Jim Sheridan at the Blasket Centre in Dún Chaoin.

Afterwards Maurice Galway, the head of the film festival, will host a public interview with Dern.

Dingle IFF said complex female roles are “rare in Hollywood but Dern has managed to deliver impeccable performances across a broad range of characters”.

Directors Stephen Frears and Jim Sheridan, and actor Gabriel Byrne, have been recipients of the award in recent years.

The Gregory Peck Award is given in memory of the Oscar winner who worked for more than fifty years and was one of the most popular film stars from the 1940s until the 1960s.

    - Don’t knock it till you try it…
    My sister taught me to make chicken curry & it included these ingredients, also pineapple chunks and chopped bell peppers.
    All the different flavour and texture sensations add to the eating experience.
    Variety is the spice of life.
    Having said that, – I’m with John Swift, – bacon & cabbage with spuds & dots of butter, mmmmmmmmmm…
