Santa Barbara Film Festival honored the legendary Hollywood filmmaker Clint Eastwood with the prestigious Modern Master Award. The event held on 29th of January had Sean Penn give way the award to Eastwood.

"He is the director actors dream about. His career is one of continuing jazz," Contactmusic quoted Penn, as saying. The actor praised the director endlessly. Sean Penn won an Oscar for his role in the Eastwood film 'Mystic River' and stated that working with the director was the highlight of his career.

Eastwood received the award with gratitude and said that he loved to make movies as it involved various new people and new projects. "There's a ton of people I haven't worked with. That's a fun thing about making movies. There's a lot of people, there's a lot of new parts that come along you need faces for," Eastwood said. AGENCIES
