Depp, who is also set to be feted at San Sebastian this year, is set to attend the Czech festival which “will recognize and pay tribute to the acclaimed actor’s extensive career and lasting legacy on the film industry globally”.
The timing is interesting given that Depp has been caught up in an ongoing and very messy legal feud with former wife Amber Heard. The dispute and its lurid details have seen the star dropped from at least one major studio project.Johnny Depp To Receive San Sebastian Film Festival's Highest Honor, The Donostia Award

Lepplady Well deserved Award 👏 ❤
Congratulations to Johnny Depp. A worthy recipient.
Johnny Depp is a legend and he totally deserves that
The timing of Depp's award is just as interesting as the LAPD bodycam footage that shows amberheard lied about Depp trashing their penthouse.Also 'interesting' are media outlets that don't report on major evidence like that. Depp deserves this award. Not 'interesting timing.'
Congratulations to Mr Depp, one of the most diverse, unique actors of all time. Incredible that this innocent man proven to be falsely accused of abuse when it was his violent, drug addicted, lying ex wife Amber Heard that was abusing him all along, can keep as humble as he is.
salveogvm Say it with me: 'His ex wife has been revealed to have fabricated serious allegations of abuse against him, despite structured analysis of their respective accounts indicating that she was the abusive party.'
I can't stop loving: 'We’re incredibly honored to welcome to the Festival an icon of the contemporary cinema,” so true.
“We’re incredibly honored to welcome to the Festival an icon of the contemporary cinema,” said KVIFF’s executive director Krystof Mucha and the Festival’s artistic director Karel Och. “We’ve admired Mr. Depp for such a long time and are thrilled to bestow this honor on him.”

Johnny Depp to Receive San Sebastian Film Fest Lifetime Achievement HonorThe Spanish festival is courting controversy by giving the disgraced former superstar its Donostia Award, arguing 'the role of a film festival is not to judge the conduct of members of the film industry (but) to extend recognition to those who have made an extraordinary contribution to the art of film.' 🤣🤣🐐🐐 Come on Hollywood Reporter, 'disgraced former superstar'? Why couldn't you just report that Depp is being honored due to his contribution to film? Jesus! And I just renewed my subscription last week! 🙄 True, festivals do not force censure, the Insurance Co.'s do. Depp didn't come off Fantastic Beasts bc he was 'fired' - still got his full $16 Million per his pay or play contract, but he is now UNINSURABLE by studio underwriters & no one EXPLAINS that bc it's not sensational.
