Brie Larson, who is getting tons of awards buzz for her work in Room, will be honored with the Breakthrough Performance Award at the 27th annual Palm Springs International Film Festival. The Awards Gala, which will also feature previously announced honorees Cate Blanchett, Johnny Depp, and Saoirse Ronan, takes place Saturday January 2 at the Palm Springs Convention Center.
