Saldana To Receive Award
1 min readStar Trek XI‘s Zoë Saldana will be presented with a Midnight Award at the Midnight Awards segment of the 54th San Francisco International Film Festival, due to take place later this month.
The awards ceremony, which “takes the format of a late night talk show,” will be hosted by New York Times best-selling author Beth Lisick. Saldana will be interviewed by Lisick during the show.
Created in 2007, the Midnight Awards are given to a young actor and actress who have “made outstanding contributions to independent and Hollywood cinema” and bring intelligence, talent and depth of characters to their roles.” The name of the male actor receiving a Midnight Award along with Saldana has not yet been announced.
