Meryl Streep to receive acting honour at Toronto film fest

Meryl Streep will be the first recipient of an acting award bestowed as part of the Toronto International Film Festival. The festival’s organisers announced that Streep will receive the inaugural Tiff Tribute Actor Award during a February 9 charity gala. The glitzy fund-raiser will support the festival’s year-around efforts to promote films and the industry’s leading creators.

The actress is the most nominated actor in Academy Award history and has won the Oscar three times. The award is separate from honours bestowed on films shown at the September festival. Streep stars in Steven Soderbergh’s upcoming Panama Papers film The Laundromat with Gary Oldman and Antonio Banderas. The film will have its North American premiere at Tiff.
