CATHERINE MARTIN TO RECEIVE ANOTHER AWARD
Costume, production and set designer and producer Catherine Martin will be honored for her outstanding global contribution and influence on film, with the Australian Academy’s most prestigious award the Longford Lyell Award. The prize is made as part of the AACTA Awards and will be presented on Dec. 7.
Martin is the most awarded Australian in Oscar history with 4 Oscars, 5 BAFTAs and a Tony Award. She has worked alongside husband director, producer and writer, Baz Luhrmann on titles including “Strictly Ballroom,” ”Romeo + Juliet,” “Australia,” “The Great Gatsby” and “Elvis.”
“Baz and I often joke that we are just getting started, so I hope this ‘lifetime achievement award’ is not a full stop, but a comma; heralding the beginning of new and exciting creative adventures to be shared with both long-time collaborators and new artists alike, in front of and behind the camera,” Martin said in a prepared statement.
