The Rome Film Fest is set to honor Oscar, Emmy, and Tony-winning actress Viola Davis with its second lifetime achievement award this year. Davis will also participate in one of the event’s "Close Encounter" talks, discussing her work with festival head Antonio Monda. 

“Viola Davis is an extraordinary actress, who has transformed sincerity and dignity into sublime thespian art,” Monda said Tuesday in a statement. “It is a great honor for me, and for the Rome Film Fest, to celebrate her formidable talent and deep humanity.”

Davis is a three-time Oscar nominee, taking home the prize for best-supporting actress in 2017 for Fences. She also has won Tony Awards for her work in Fences and King Hedley II, and won the Emmy for outstanding lead actress in 2015 for her role as Annalise Keating on How to Get Away With Murder.

The 14th Rome Film Fest is set to run October 17-27.
