Julia Roberts Wins Film Award
Actress Julia Roberts was presented the American Cinematheque Award Friday evening. On hand were her friends and past co-stars including Denzel Washington, (who presented her with the award,) Tom Hanks, Sally Field and Natalie Portman and had her fellow actors gushing with tribute about the A-List actress.
Actor Bruce Willis continued the lighthearted tone, listing comparisons between his life and Roberts’, including their connection to Sharon Stone.
“Julia turned down the Sharon Stone role in ‘Basic Instinct,’ and I have had to actually turn down Sharon Stone a few times,” quipped Willis as laughs roared across the hall. “No, no, no. Like Julia, I never meant any disrespect for the opportunity, I just wasn’t comfortable with the nudity.”
Last year, Roberts presented George Clooney with the award and while he couldn’t attend due to filming in NYC, he did send a suprise.
Richard Gere and David Letterman provided video tributes, as did George Clooney, who hilariously appeared in a bathroom stall. In the middle of his speech, his shoe was tapped by a foot from the stall next door, and the camera swung over to reveal a surprised Brad Pitt.
