As part of its 10th anniversary celebration, the CineVegas Film Festival will honor six actors who have made significant artistic contributions to film and the film industry, it was announced today by Trevor Groth, Artistic Director.

The Marquee Award will be given to Anjelica Huston for her accomplishments in the film industry throughout her esteemed career. Don Cheadle, Rosario Dawson, Viggo Mortsensen and Sam Rockwell will each be honored with a Half-Life Award for the work they have done thus far in their careers.

The honorees will participate in moderated conversations, which are open to the public, on Friday, June 20 and Saturday, June 21. Additionally, James Caan will be honored with the Festival’s special Vegas Icon Award, sponsored by the LVCVA, which is presented to an actor who embodies the spirit of Las Vegas and who has delivered memorable performances in films and shows set in the city. The awards will be given out on Friday, June 20 at the CineVegas Honorees Reception, to be held at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino pool.

“Over the past 10 years, CineVegas has honored an impressive body of actors, directors and producers, and this year is no exception,” stated Groth. “What better way to celebrate a decade of recognizing talent than to honor James Caan, Don Cheadle, Rosario Dawson, Anjelica Huston, Viggo Mortensen and Sam Rockwell, whose brazen careers mirror the innovative and uninhibited films the Festival shows each year.”

Making her film debut in the highly acclaimed and controversial hit Kids, Rosario Dawson has since emerged as one of Hollywood’s most sought after leading ladies. She was last seen in Quentin Tarantino’s horror project Grindhouse, as well as Descent, which also served as her producing debut. Dawson’s other memorable roles include Mimi Valdez in the 2005 film adaptation of Rent; Alexander, The Rundown, Shattered Glass; and Gail in the 2005 film noir drama Sin City, a role she will reprise in the film’s highly anticipated sequel, Sin City 2. She also starred in Explicit Ills, which premiered and won the audience award at the 2008 SXSW Film Festival and will screen at the 2008 CineVegas Film Festival. Dawson will soon be seen in Killshot and is currently filming the drama Seven Pounds, which will be released December 12, and just wrapped filming on Eagle Eye, which will be released September 26.
