Gael was, this weekend, at the Provincetown International Film Festival, unfortunately I didn’t find any pictures of him at the event yet (still looking . Although here’s an article talking about the moment he received the Excellence in Acting Award. Congrats Gael!
Perhaps the most touching moment of the weekend came when diminutive Mexican heartthrob Gael Garcia Bernal accepted the Excellence in Acting Award. “I feel like Miss Mexico,” he said through tears. Tarantino (who recieved the award Filmmaker on the Edge Award), of course, could not resist a reply, cooing “I feel like Miss Guatemala.”
Update! And here’s another piece of article about it:
Bernal said he appreciated the honor “very much” and that he’s “been lucky” in his career. Of his forthcoming film, Blindness, he can only say, “I saw it once and I thought it was interesting, and then I saw it again and I have much hope for it.”
