Leonardo DiCaprio will be honored at the upcoming Palm Springs International Film Awards with the Desert Palm Achievement Award, Actor, for his performance in Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another.
In One Battle After Another, written, directed and produced by Paul Thomas Anderson, DiCaprio stars as washed-up revolutionary Bob who exists in a state of stoned paranoia, surviving off-grid with his spirited, self-reliant daughter, Willa (Chase Infiniti). When his evil nemesis (Sean Penn) resurfaces after 16 years and she goes missing, the former radical scrambles to find her, father and daughter both battling the consequences of his past.
“In One Battle After Another, Leonardo DiCaprio delivers a riveting and emotionally charged performance, embodying a man pushed to his breaking point in the face of relentless adversity,” said Festival Chairman Nachhattar Singh Chandi. “Across his career, DiCaprio has continually redefined what is possible in screen acting—bringing emotional depth, artistic integrity, and fearless commitment to every role. It is our honor to present him with the Desert Palm Achievement Award, Actor, in recognition of his enduring influence and exceptional body of work.”
DiCaprio joins this year’s previously announced honorees Michael B. Jordan (Icon Award), Adam Sandler (Chairman’s Award) and Sentimental Value cast members Renate Reinsve, Stellan Skarsgård, Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas, and Elle Fanning (International Star Award).
The Film Awards will take place on January 3, 2026, at the Palm Springs Convention Center, with the Palm Springs International Film Festival running January 2-12, 2026.
