- Rooney Mara
"Rooney Mara's nuanced portrayal of Manhattan shopgirl Therese Belivet opposite Cate Blanchett's Carol Aird, brings integrity and depth to this story of forbidden love set against the sexual mores of the early 1950s," said Film Festival Chairman Harold Matzner. "For this brilliant performance, which adds yet another laurel to her diverse career, it is an honor to present Rooney Mara with the 2016 Spotlight Award."
2016 Winner Desert Palm Achievement Award

"Cate Blanchett is one of the most award-winning and outstanding actresses of her generation, delivering extraordinary performances throughout her career including her Academy Award-winning roles as Katherine Hepburn in The Aviator and the title role in Woody Allen's Blue Jasmine," said Festival Chairman Harold Matzner. "In her latest films Carol and Truth, Blanchett yet again brings to life two vibrant characters, both worthy of awards recognition. It is our honor to present the 2016 Desert Palm Achievement Award, Actress, to Cate Blanchett."

CAROL sets the screen aglow with the light of longing as Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara transform a period piece into a timeless cry from defiant hearts. Todd Haynes serves their romance as a restorative cocktail, adding splashes of color to a repressive Eisenhower-era, when love was often seen in black-and-white. From luminous performances to sumptuous production, this is cinema's promise fulfilled - a haunting portrait in moving images, painted in the universal hues of heartache and passion.
