But all that hasn’t deterred San Sebastian, which, unveiling the Donostia Award on Monday, called Depp “one of contemporary cinema’s most talented and versatile actors.” Depp will receive his Donostia Award in San Sebastian on Wednesday, Sept. 22., San Sebastian’s festival director José Luis Rebordinos explained his decision to honor Depp, despite the controversy surrounding him.
“The role of a film festival is not to judge the conduct of members of the film industry. The role of a film festival is to select the most relevant and interesting films of the year and to extend recognition to those who have made an extraordinary contribution to the art of film,” Rebordinos said in a statement.
Wife beater? Like beating eggs. Was he wearing a special 'wife beater' shirt? I guess if she says he did this, then she said this. There's speculation he didn't.
JohnnyDepp puts his all in every project. Like many, I believe he was wrongfully fired by WarnerBros. We're happy to hear he's getting recognized for his dedication and passion for this film. I wish Depps good fortune continues. Well deserved! Hollywood MINAMATA MGM Japan

But the advantage of honoring Johnny Depp is what?
Writing way too many tweets for a “disgraced former superstar”

🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮
'Disgraced former superstar'? Seriously?! 🤦🏻♀️
Way to go , love Depp
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.
No, he’s not disgraced. Amber is!
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! 🙄
