We have seen footage of much of Nic's appearance at The 2011 Sedona Film Festival, where he introduces his 2002 directorial debut film Sonny, followed by a wonderful Q & A session with the audience. Here are the videos and full transcript for those interested)
But Nic also received an award that night!
Watch his appearance in the following video, the award ceremony takes place at the end!
In recognition of your outstanding film career, bringing truly memorable characters to life on screen, in honor of your contribution to the arts and your commetment to the art of independent film making, thank you for briging your passion to life on screen for us and the whole world. You are an inspiration.
Oh my, that was the icing on the cake, Lula! Wow! I so enjoyed this, thank you! What a guy, I wonder if he would come to Nova Scotia for a film festival? I would love to see him give a talk on stage, it would be truly awesome!
( Off note: Alice looks really hot in the brief glimpse of her, love her hair. )
You are both so very welcome Lady Trueheart and Cristina, I was really thrilled to find this today because we had a hint of this at the end of one fo the other videos, but it was never confirmed that Nic had won an award!
The excerpt I posted of the award giving speech was a joy to hear and so true abut all Nic has brought to film and peoples lives.
Not that it is about awards, but the recognition is very well deserved, congratulations to Sir Nicolas!
It is NICe to see Nic's work honoured and receiving the respect he deserves, and it is truthful, not flattery, the man is an acting tour de force!
going back to the presentaion speech, isn't it so true that Nic has given us so many memorable characters?! that is what he does, brings characters to life so fully!
