Johnny Depp, a man who has given Hollywood some of its most indelible moments, now finds himself receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Rome Film Festival. Few have blurred the creative lines quite like Depp, dancing from actor to filmmaker to musician with the ease of someone who forgot the lines ever existed.

The movie virtuoso has enough talent to justify why his name would be associated with such an esteemed award. However, in recent years, as he became the spectacle of the Internet's entry into the courtroom, owing to a defamation case he filed against his ex-wife, Amber Heard. Given to the nature of the case, and the noses that were poked in, netizens are deciding whether or not Depp "deserved" the award or whether the award "tanked" in choosing him as the receptor based on the latest chapter of his life despite the award being a 'lifetime' one.

From a barrage of MTV Awards to a couple more People's Choice Awards and a few revered Golden Globes and Screen Actors Guild Awards, Johnny Depp is no newcomer to an award ceremony. However, the sentiment has changed drastically from when he was good old Captain Jack Sparrow to now when the bet of his name being next to Amber Heard and 'trial' is a winning case.

As it was announced that Depp's decades of dedication are being awarded with a Lifetime Achievement Award, the Internet clan clashed into each other armed with their opinions.

The Rome Film Festival is a celebration of all things cinematic genius and hence the award presented to Johnny Depp would be based on his craft. However, much like how Depp has blurred the lines of creativity to become a triple threat as an actor, musician, and filmmaker, the Internet too has forgotten to draw the line between his personal and professional endeavors.

Fans of the artist rushed to add stars to this honor as they reminded others how this was not the first time Depp was being awarded with a Lifetime Achievement Award, as he received the honor back in 2021 at the San Sebastián film festival as well.

While there were ample praises for the actor, there were also many mentions of Amber Herd as Twitterati took this announcement to make their stance on the already closed case clear, which, owing to the Netflix documentary on the same, were not soft. Regardless of the discourse on the Internet, Depp will be taking home the greatest honor at the Rome Film Festival.
