Kevin Spacey Is Set to Receive Another Lifetime Achievement Award in Italy
Italy can’t stop giving awards to Kevin Spacey.
The two-time Oscar winner will be honored with the country’s Nations Award for Lifetime Achievement in the southern town of Taormina on July 21. The distinction comes as Spacey has made several high-profile media appearances recently in an effort to move on from the allegations of sexual assault which derailed his career and damaged his reputation when they first emerged in 2017.
Spacey is set to give a short performance as he accepts his new award—which is not connected to the Taormina Film Festival running this month—at a special gala event in the town’s historic amphitheater. The Nations Award is organized under the patronage of the Italian Senate and the state of Sicily.
