Why Is Kevin Spacey Suddenly Being Honored With Awards in Europe?
A year on from his court victory in the U.K., Kevin Spacey is still struggling to find work but is being honored with awards across Europe.
But while he may still be the highest profile actor effectively “canceled” by mainstream Hollywood in the wake of the #MeToo movement, Spacey continues to be feted across Europe, with sellout appearances and now two awards, both announced almost back-to-back and taking place a day apart later this month. On July 21 in the historical Italian town of Taormina in Sicily, Spacey will take the stage at a 4,000-seater ancient Roman theater in the shadow of the active Mount Etna volcano to be presented with the Nations Award, an honor that dates back to 1970 and has previously been given to the likes of Woody Allen, Abel Ferrara, Claudia Cardinale and Gerard Depardieu (F. Murray Abraham won it last year). And while it wasn’t an awards ceremony, earlier this month, Spacey was the guest of honor at the Golden Apricot Film Festival in the Armenian capital of Yerevan, where he taught an acting masterclass and addressed a packed room of fans.
