Angelina Jolie: Outstanding Performance of the Year

Academy Award and three-time Golden Globe winner Angelina Jolie will receive the Outstanding Performance of the Year Award for her performance in A Mighty Heart at The Santa Barbara International Film Festival early next year.

“We are honored to celebrate Ms. Jolie in what is arguably one of the most extraordinary female roles of the year,” said Festival executive director Roger Durling.

Angie will be honored on Feb. 2, 2008, the second-to-last day of the festival, which begins on Jan. 24, 2008.

Kate Winslet, Heath Ledger, and Helen Mirren have received this award in previous years.
