As I previously announced here, our lovely Andrew Garfield is honored the Male Shining Star Award from Maui Film Festival. The most exciting thing is that I just got confirmation from @mauifilmfest that Andrew will indeed attend the event to accept the award!The tribute to Andrew Garfield will be held on Saturday, June 18th, starts 8 pm for 10 minutes -- prior to the main screening of Celestial Cinema event (a short animated movie "Danny & Annie", a feature film "Beginners" starring Andrew's "Parnassus" co-star Christopher Plummer, a short film "A Shore Thing", and a feature film "Last Night" starring Andrew's "Never Let Me Go" co-star Keira Knightley).
The Shining Star Award is presented to "honor a film artist still in the ascendance of his career - with many magnetic performances both behind and ahead of him - whose very presence on screen guarantees as much light as heat," according to the festival. Jake Gyllenhaal won this award back in 2005. I guess it's such a perfect choice that they honor Andrew! ;)
