On Friday, at the 37th annual Santa Barbara Film Festival, Kristen Stewart was honored with the American Riviera Award presented by Charlize Theron.
“Thank you for acknowledging me at this time in my life. I’m in such a good place to receive it,” Stewart said upon accepting the award.
The Oscar-nominated Spencer actress also paid tribute to her director Pablo Larrain, adding, “I wish he was here right now. Thank you forever for this.”
“You have a real commitment and it shows in everything you do. It’s been so fun to watch the trajectory of your career,” said Theron during her presentation of Stewart’s award. “Your most recent film, Spencer, I have to say is my favorite work of yours to date. It’s not an easy task to take on the most iconic figure in modern history, but you let us into this character. You gave us a glimpse into her soul in the most tactful and heart-wrenching way.”
