The honor

The Donostia Award recognizes Watts’s career at the San Sebastián festival; it is a career tribute rather than a prize for one current film.

Why Lynch is central

Watts used the moment to credit Lynch, whose Mulholland Drive became the breakthrough most closely associated with her international rise.

The emotional frame

The dedication makes the speech less a résumé recap and more an account of artistic trust. That is the substance behind the quoted ‘changed my life’ line.

Update note: Adds the award’s career context and explains why the Lynch dedication is more than a ceremonial name-check.
