Angelina Jolie Will Receive TIFF’s Tribute Award In Impact Media

Buy Me A Coffee

Angelina Jolie, aka Hollywood’s favorite globe-trotting superhero, is adding another shiny thing to her collection. The 49-year-old actress, humanitarian, filmmaker, and all-around Wonder Woman will be receiving the 2024 TIFF Tribute Award in Impact Media—because apparently, even her awards need long, important-sounding names.

Yes, it’s official! The Toronto Film Festival organizers, who are obviously big fans of Ms. Jolie, confirmed this life-altering news on Tuesday (August 27). According to Deadline (the people who write headlines like their life depends on it), Angelina will receive this super special trophy on Sunday, September 8, at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel. It’s basically like the Oscars, but with more maple syrup vibes.

But wait, there’s more! She’s already in town for the world premiere of her latest directorial masterpiece, Without Blood, which is definitely not a vampire flick (disappointing, I know). It’s actually a war drama based on a book by Alessandro Baricco, starring the always fabulous Salma Hayek and Demián Bechir. Because, when Angelina directs, she doesn’t mess around—she brings out the big guns.

Now, let’s talk about this award. The TIFF Tribute Award in Impact Media—yes, the one with the fancy title—is basically Hollywood’s way of saying, “Hey, thanks for making serious movies and not just playing dress-up in action flicks.” According to some wise person named Anne-Marie Canning, this award celebrates people who smash together social impact and cinema like peanut butter and jelly. Yum.

Here’s what TIFF CEO Cameron Bailey had to say, and I quote, “Angelina Jolie is a multifaceted talent who has entertained audiences for decades while consistently using her platform to champion important causes.” Translation: She’s super famous and doesn’t just spend her free time shopping for islands. He went on to say, “We’re honored to present her with the 2024 TIFF Tribute Award in Impact Media.” You know, because TIFF doesn’t just hand these things out to random people on the street.

And in case you weren’t already in awe of her, Cameron wraps it up by stating, “This award recognizes her exceptional achievements in filmmaking and her unwavering commitment to positive change, solidifying her status as a veritable humanitarian and global force to be reckoned with.” Basically, Angelina’s like Batman, but with more emotional depth and better cheekbones.

So, mark your calendars! September 8 will be the day when Angelina casually picks up another trophy for her “I’m Saving the World” shelf, all while looking effortlessly glamorous.
