Angelina Jolie Awarded At Santa Barbara Film Awards

Written by Joanna Cole | Monday, February 4, 2008 |

Angelina JolieThe Oscar-winning actress was honored at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival with the Performance of the Year award.

Angelina Jolie was awarded the gong for her portrayal of Marianne Pearl in the film, ‘A Mighty Heart’. The role has accrued Jolie various award nominations and deservedly so.

Jolie doesn’t always show up to collect her awards, however the actress had this to say about her appearance at the festival: “To be honest, I just heard that it was a beautiful festival, and one to take seriously, it is a very nice group that puts it on. So, that’s usually how it is. They tell you, like, ‘These ones are a bit silly, but these ones are a bit respectable and nice.’”

Clint Eastwood, director of Jolie’s upcoming film ‘The Changeling’ presented her the award and she was ecstatic at the chance to talk to reporters about the director.

“Clint Eastwood? Awwww! Don’t get me started,” Jolie told a US TV station. “I could talk forever about him. I could turn the whole evening into a Clint Eastwood evening. Oops! My earring just fell. I think he’s just a genuinely great guy. He’s nice to everybody on set. He is so gracious and so supportive to someone who’s on for 20 minutes in the tiniest scene. He gives them 100 percent care, attention and he’s cool and he’s kind and he’s amazing.”

Everything seems to be going very well for the actress, who is said to be pregnant with twins.

Angelina Jolie deserved the award for the sensitive, intense performance that she gave. People forgot that the actor was Angelina Jolie - and that takes some doing.

Go ahead & boycott, everyone will be shaking in their boots.
