Three acting Oscar hopefuls — Son of Saul lead actor Geza Rohrig, The Danish Girl and Ex Machina supporting actress Alicia Vikander and Straight Outta Compton supporting actor O’Shea Jackson, Jr. — will receive Virtuoso awards at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, the festival announced Thursday. They will join four previously announced Virtuosos — Love & Mercy‘s Elizabeth Banks and Paul Dano, Black Mass‘ Joel Edgerton and 9-year-old Room star Jacob Tremblay — at a ceremony on Feb. 6 at Santa Barbara’s historic Arlington Theatre as part of SBIFF’s 31st edition, which runs Feb. 3-13.
“These breakthrough actors are remarkable performers and have an illustrious career ahead of them,” SBIFF executive director Roger Durling said in a statement. “We have followed them along their artistic pursuits and are excited to join them in next steps of their journeys.”
