Cate Blanchett will become the latest star to receive the BFI Fellowship at this year's London Film Festival.
The two-time Oscar winner will be awarded with the honour at the festival's awards ceremony on Saturday, October 17.
Announcing the news, the BFI described Blanchett as "a fearless and subtle actress" who has a "mesmerising screen presence".
"She has the rare gift of seeming utterly to inhabit the characters she plays and has an amazing ability to convey complex layers of emotion to stunning effect," it added.
Blanchett will also attend the festival for the UK premieres of two of her new films - Carol and Truth. Both are tipped for success during the upcoming awards season.
The trailer for Carol, the 1950s drama also starring Rooney Mara, recently debuted online.
