While anyone and everyone knows that the greatest honour Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy has or ever shall receive is being the very first Honorary Fantha Tracker, she has accrued a number of other, lesser awards, and the latest one will be bestowed upon her and husband Frank Marshall at the Ebell theater in Los Angeles on 27th February at the Oscar Wilde Awards.
Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall, the wife-and-husband producers who have 13 Oscar nominations and an Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award between them, will be honored at the Oscar Wilde Awards next month.
The 19th annual event is scheduled for Feb. 27, three days before the Academy Awards, at the historic Ebell theater in Los Angeles. Actors John C. Reilly and Éanna Hardwicke will be saluted as well.
Created by the US-Ireland Alliance, the Oscar Wilde Awards celebrate the work of those from Ireland — and some who are not — who contribute to film, television and music. (Kennedy, with eight Oscar noms, and Marshall, with five, are Californians born in Berkeley and Glendale, respectively.)
“The Irish are known as being great storytellers, and you can’t find two greater storytellers, in the history of filmmaking, than Kathleen Kennedy and Frank Marshall,” US-Ireland Alliance founder Trina Vargo said in a statement.
Be sure to read the article which lists their monumental cinematic achievements, and as always, many congratulations.
