Palm Springs Film Festival set to honor Gary Oldman

The 23rd Palm Springs International Film Festival will present their "International Star Award" January 7 to one of my all time favorite actors, Gary Oldman. In announcing the award festival chairman Harold Matzner said of Oldman:

“Gary Oldman is a performer whose ability to portray the most extreme of characters is a testament to the enormity of his talent. In "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy", as the embodiment of John le CarrĂ©’s classic spymaster George Smiley, he combines cunning, pathos, and cold determination when he is brought out of retirement to ferret out a double agent during the Cold War. To this consummate talent who consistently challenges audiences to anticipate the unexpected when he performs, the Palm Springs International Film Festival is honored to present the 2012 International Star Award to Gary Oldman.”
