In spite of the various troubles that Broadway's SPIDER-MAN director Julie Taymor has recently encountered, on Friday she received the "Failure is Impossible" award at the George Eastman House Film Festival in Rochester, N.Y.

Past winners of the Susan B. Anthony "Failure is Impossible" award have included Lynn Redgrave and Angela Bassett.

Taymor, who won a Tony for her work on THE LION KING, hasn't had the same luck with the $65 million dollar musical SPIDER-MAN. She was recently let go as the director of the show.

Taymor told the audience that "anyone who gets anything done in this world forgets about failure ... and sticks to their heart and vision."
