The Gregory Peck Award for Cinematic Excellence is an award given at the San Diego International Film Festival (SDIFF) to honor the career achievement of a film actor, producer or director. It is named in memory of iconic actor Gregory Peck with the support of his family.

The award is SDIFF's most prestigious award and headlining presentation at their fanciest formal event Variety's Night of the Stars.{{Cite web|url=https://sdfilmfest.com/night-of-the-stars-tribute/|title=Night Of The Stars Tribute {{!}} San Diego International Film Festival|date=2018-04-19|language=en-US|access-date=2019-10-03|archive-date=2019-09-18|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190918051749/https://sdfilmfest.com/night-of-the-stars-tribute/|url-status=dead}}

History

The award originated in 2008 at the Dingle International Film Festival (DIFF) in Ireland with the support and participation of Pecks' family,{{Cite web|url=https://www.dinglefilmfestival.com/gregory_peck/|title=The Gregory Peck Award: For Excellence in the Art of Film. {{!}} Dingle International Film Festival|last=|first=|date=|website=|language=en|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160225202444/https://www.dinglefilmfestival.com/gregory_peck/|archive-date=2016-02-25|access-date=2019-10-03}} who chose Dingle because it is the ancestral home of the actor's great-grandmother Catherine Ashe who hailed from Annascaul in the Dingle Peninsula.{{Cite web|url=http://www.askaboutireland.ie/reading-room/life-society/families-in-history/ashe-family-of-kinard-co/american-cousin-gregory-p/|title=American Cousin: Gregory Peck|last=|first=|date=|website=www.askaboutireland.ie|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170301134631/http://www.askaboutireland.ie/reading-room/life-society/families-in-history/ashe-family-of-kinard-co/american-cousin-gregory-p/|archive-date=2017-03-01|access-date=2019-10-03}} Its original name was the "Gregory Peck Excellence in the Art of Film Award."

In 2014, the family began presenting the award in San Diego where the actor was born, raised his family and where he founded La Jolla Playhouse. Since the DIFF was forced to close due to financial reasons in 2019, the award is presented exclusively at SDIFF.{{Cite web|url=https://www.thejournal.ie/dingle-international-film-festival-closure-4681243-Jun2019/|title=One of Ireland's best-known film festivals has been forced to close its doors over a lack of funding|last=McDermott|first=Stephen|website=TheJournal.ie|date=13 June 2019 |language=en|access-date=2019-10-03}}
