"Throughout her career Annette Bening has brought to the screen many memorable performances including the four films for which she was nominated for an Academy Award: American Beauty, The Grifters, The Kids Are All Right, and Being Julia," said Festival Chairman Harold Matzner. "Bening creates yet another memorable award-winning role portraying Dorothea, a free-spirited single mother raising her teenage son in Mike Mills' upcoming film 20th Century Women. It is our great honor to present the Career Achievement Award to Annette Bening."
