You may know him best for his role as Bucky Barnes, Captain America’s tormented sidekick in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but Sebastian Stan has also left his mark on pop culture with other roles such as Carter Baizen in Gossip Girl, the Maddened Kudder in Once Upon a Time. time or tribe in li pem and tribe.
At the same time, the Romanian-American actor also thrives in more independent and intimate projects, where he can further express his talent. He appeared in Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan, Ridley Scott’s Mars Alone, Steven Soderbergh’s Logan Lucky, Craig Gillespie’s I, Tonya, Antonio Campos’ The Devil, All the Time and Mimi Cave’s Fresh.
Sebastian Stan, New Hollywood Prize at Deauville
If Sebastian Stan will soon return to the MCU for the film Thunderbolts*, which is expected in 2025, the actor also has a busy schedule this year with important performances, such as the interpretation of a young Donald Trump in Ali Abbasi’s The Apprentice, presented at the Cannes Film Festival, or his performance in Aaron Shimberg’s film A Different Man, for which he won the Silver Bear for Best Performance at the 2024 Berlinale.
It is for this role that Sebastian Stan is one of the guests of honor at the Deauville American Film Festival. This 50th edition is an opportunity for this feature film to revisit the French festival, but also to reward the actor with a new Hollywood prize for his talent and courage in his very diverse and famous projects.
“This is my first honor in my first year”
The actor was very moved by the welcome of the festival, and the very inspired speech of the French actor Damien Bonnard, a member of the jury of the Deauville festival, who presented him with the new Hollywood prize, very rightly remembered. “That it would be unfair to narrow it down to one and only role” Bucky Barnes in the MCU.
Because with an inappropriate role, he could have been nominated for an Oscar for best actor, in Berlin and after this new prize in Deauville:
“What can I say? I’m a 42-year-old man on the up and up. I guess I’m still trying to understand what’s going on. I want to thank the Deauville Festival for this incredible honor.
This is my first honor in my first year. As happened earlier this year in Berlin, it was a happy coincidence that my first moments of recognition came from Europe.
His acceptance speech is also an opportunity to honor his European roots, as Sebastian Stan was born in Romania and lived in Austria for several years before moving to the United States with his mother, who did everything to give him a different life.
“It wasn’t until years later that I realized how important my European roots were and how they shaped who I am today. We live in a world today where truth is increasingly being questioned and we must try to protect it.
None of us are above that, as history has shown us time and time again. We must continue to find ways to challenge our selective thinking and nurture our own integrity, both collectively and individually. This is what I see at work. This is something I have learned from my past. “
The actor thanked the two directors who are highlighting him this year, Ali Abbas for “The Apprentice” and Aaron Schimberg for “The Other Man.” His performances in these two films – especially A Different Man – could give him a chance to win an Oscar nomination, especially since several American media have included Sebastian Stan in their predictions.
The film “A Different Man” does not yet have a release date in France.
The 50th edition of the Deauville American Film Festival will be held from September 6 to 15, 2024.
