Zurich names Julianne Moore Golden Icon Award winner

Julianne Moore will receive the Golden Icon Award at this year’s Zurich Film Festival, with the Oscar-winning actress set to accept the honor in person.

The award recognizes Moore’s decades-long career, spanning critically acclaimed roles in films like *Still Alice*, *Far From Heaven*, and *Boogie Nights*. Her recent collaboration with Jesse Eisenberg—who directed her in *The Debut*—highlights her continued relevance in independent cinema. Eisenberg, who previously directed Moore in *When You Finish Saving the World*, will accompany her to the festival, underscoring their creative partnership.

The Zurich Film Festival’s Golden Icon Award has previously honored industry giants like Michael Douglas and Glenn Close, placing Moore among a select group of actors celebrated for their enduring impact on film. The festival, known for blending mainstream and arthouse cinema, runs from September 26 to October 6, with Moore’s presence likely to draw significant attention.

This recognition comes as Moore remains active in both film and television, with upcoming projects that include a role in the Apple TV+ series *The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey*. The award ceremony will serve as a platform to reflect on her contributions while spotlighting her latest work.
