The Song Sung Blue actress was honored with the Motion Picture Showperson of the Year prize at the 2026 ICG Publicists Awards on Friday afternoon (March 13) at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif.

“Making movies is an extraordinary process; it doesn’t end when we wrap,” Kate said while accepting the award (via THR).

She added, “We are also tasked with bringing that magic to audiences, and publicity is a huge part of that. I’m the showperson and you’re the ship.”
