"Joaquin Phoenix mesmerizes audiences in Joker with a performance that elicits empathy and reminds society on the whole that we can be better," said Festival Chairman Harold Matzner. "For this performance, another in his arsenal of unforgettable characters, we are honored to present Joaquin Phoenix with this year's Chairman's Award."

Tied with Adam Driver for Marriage Story (2019).

JOKER smiles while your heart is breaking. Todd Phillips' intoxicating take on Gotham's clown prince ignited a global following by inspiring audiences to consider the mask we wear to conceal the volcanic anxiety in the world today. Joaquin Phoenix's bravura performance is one for the ages - on the outside, exploding beyond the screen in a metamorphosis of balletic contortions - and on the inside, begging empathy for a madman as he dances down the steps of darkness.
