Natalie Portman to be godmother of Trophée Chopard 2023
Natalie Portman will be the godmother of the Trophée Chopard awarded during the 76th Cannes Film Festival; created in 2001, this distinction annually highlights the latest generation of international cinema
From Marion Cotillard (Oscar for Best Actress in 2008) to Léa Seydoux (Palme d’Or in 2013), as well as Diane Kruger (Best Actress Award at Cannes in 2017), Niels Schneider (Best Male Newcomer Award at the Césars in 2017) as well as Florence Pugh and Jessie Buckley – who received Oscar nominations just a few months after winning the Trophée Chopard in 2019 and 2021 – laureates of this distinction have consistently confirmed the hopes placed in them.
The 2023 Trophée Chopard will be awarded on May 19 at the 76th Cannes Festival during a prestigious dinner dedicated to the theme of skills transmission, at the invitation of Iris Knobloch, Thierry Frémaux and Caroline Scheufele. The two laureates will be decided by the votes of the Académie du Trophée Chopard, composed of winners as well as godfathers and godmothers of previous editions. After an edition presided over by Julia Roberts, Caroline Scheufele has decided to entrust the honour of presenting the 2023 awards to an equally legendary actress – Natalie Portman.
