Zendaya Is CinemaCon’s Star of the Year
On April 27, Zendaya is set to receive CinemaCon’s highly esteemed Star of the Year Award in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Mitch Neuhauser, CinemaCon’s managing director, spoke highly of the former Disney actress, “In just a few short years, Zendaya has captured audiences’ attention with her compassionate performance on the small screen as Rue in Euphoria and has drawn audiences in on the big screen with her performances in Spider-Man: Far From Home, The Greatest Showman and Dune.” He concluded, “We could not be more honored to present Zendaya with this year’s CinemaCon Star of the Year Award.”

It is not a surprise CinemaCon wants to honor Zendaya. Since beginning her acting career, she has solidified herself as an immensely talented actress. For her portrayal of Rue in Euphoria, she won two Primetime Emmy Awards for Drama Lead Actress. In addition, she became the youngest actress to win the award at 24 years old with her first win.
After her second win, she became the first Black actress to win the award twice. Reportedly, she will now earn $1 million per Euphoria episode beginning with the third season.
The Euphoria actress is scheduled to have two big cinematic releases later this year. She will star in Luca Guadagnino’s film Challengers with Mike Faist and Josh O’Connor. The film is slated for a September 15 release. Also, she will appear in Dune: Part 2, which will be released in November.
