After wowing a home crowd at the opening night of the San Sebastián Film Festival on Friday, looking dazzling at 48, Spain’s best-known actress, Penélope Cruz, spoke to a packed auditorium at the city’s Tabakalera culture center on Saturday when she was honored with Spain’s National Cinematography Prize.
Cruz received two standing ovations during the ceremony. Cruz was presented the award by Spain’s Minister of Culture and Sports, Miquel Iceta. She made her English-language debut with “Talk of Angels,” released in 1998, and has since notched up a long list of international hits, including “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides,” “Blow,” “All The Pretty Horses,” and Spanish films like “All About My Mother” and Bigas Luna’s “Jamon, Jamon” as well as Fernando Trueba’s Academy Award winning “Belle Epoque,” Cruz’s two breakout films which caught the attention of a broader audience.
Spanish actor Luis Tosar, who co-stars with Cruz in “On The Fringe,” also took to the stage to honor Cruz who sat front row in a pink suit, awaiting her moment to receive the award.
