Jordan Moreau Variety will honor Amy Poehler with the Variety Legend & Groundbreaker Award at the Newport Beach Festival on Sunday, October 20.
The award is reserved for those who have broken barriers in the industry and withstood the test of time. Poehler will accept the honor for her career achievements, including the recent success of “Inside Out 2.” Reprising her role as the voice of Joy in “Inside Out 2,” Poehler served as a leader of the emotions inside Riley’s head and as a star driving the film’s extraordinary success.
It’s the highest-grossing animated film of all time and tops the charts among all films released in 2024 with over $1.6 billion at the global box office. “From her days as a founding member of the pioneering Upright Citizens Brigade improv comedy group decades ago to her time as a breakout star of ‘SNL’ and through her time on the Peabody and Golden Globe-winning TV comedy series ‘Parks and Recreation’ and universally acclaimed stints as Golden Globes co-host and beyond, Poehler is a beloved and trailblazing comedic talent,” said Variety EVP of Global Content and Executive Editor Steve Gaydos. “The Newport Beach Film Festival is honored to continue its partnership with Variety and host remarkable award tributes.
We could not be more thrilled to be honoring Amy Poehler for her work in Inside Out 2. Her distinguished career spans generations of audiences across both film and television” said Gregg Schwenk, CEO and Executive Director of NBFF. “We are honored to celebrate Amy Poehler’s iconic career and exceptional contributions to the entertainment industry”.
