It's Official: They Will Present

This year's "It” girl , Sandra Bullock, was feted in Santa Barbara this past weekend. The two-hour celebration of her career included a Q&A moderated by Pete Hammond with clips of her work thrown in here and there was, to be perfectly honest, a grand tribute. And then at last Forest Whitaker’s presentation of the American Riviera Award to the actress.

The Riviera Award is given to an actor or actress who has made an indelible mark on American cinema. Sandra was invited back in September prior to her Oscar nom and current front-runner status. That said: it’s an undeniable pick given Bullock’s status in the film industry.

'Eyes Wide Open': Gay Love Story Set In Israel's Orthodox Community

Directed by Haim Tabakman and written by Merav Doster, 'Eyes Wide Open' is a gay love story set in Jerusalem’s "ultra-orthodox" Jewish community — in other words, in a society in which homosexuality is totally unacceptable.

Here’s the synopsis from the Eyes Wide Open press release: "Aaron, a respectable butcher in Jerusalem’s ultra-orthodox Jewish community is married to Rivka and is a dedicated father of four children. One day, he meets Ezri, a handsome twenty-two year old student, and soon falls in love with him. He then starts to neglect his family and community life, swept away by his love and lust for Ezri. But guilt, torment and pressure from the community will catch up with him, leading him to make a radical decision."
Winner of the John Schlesinger Award for Outstanding First Feature at the 2010 Palm Springs Film Festival, Eyes Wide Open is now playing in New York City at the Cinema Village. No other release dates have been set.

Eyes Wide Open stars Jerusalem Film Festival best actor winner Zohar Shtrauss, best supporting actor Israeli Academy Award nominee Ran Danker, Tzahi Grad, Isaac Sharry, and — no joking— Tinkerbell (who played Satan in Assi Dayan’s The Gospel According to God).
