Carey Mulligan will receive the International Star Award, Actress at the 2024 Palm Springs International Film Awards, the Palm Springs International Film Society announced on Friday.
The award will be presented on Thursday, Jan. 4 at the Palm Springs Convention Center, at the beginning of the 2024 Palm Springs International Film Festival.
