Jeff Bridges a man with a smile

Monday, February 15, 2010--From the Santa Barbara Independent:
In Honor of their hometown's famed resident, Jeff Bridges, Santa Barbara celebrated Jeff Bridges Day.

Santa Barbara International film Festival gave tribute to Jeff Bridges by having a day-long film viewing of all the movies the actor starred on including the recently released "Crazy Heart". This was all shown in Lobero theatre.

The screening of Crazy Heart made the Lobero Theater packed than ever which was followed with a series of Q and A with Jeff Bridges. He came on stage with cheers thundering from the crowd.

Jeff Bridges was always one of the best loved actors, portraying his role with such pizzazz that definitely earned him much consideration to star the films he starred on.

TheAustralian.com even commented Jeff Bridges, on their February 17, 2010 release, as a natural with Crazy Heart. As was once said by American critic Pauline Kael Jeff Bridges "may be the most natural and least self-conscious screen actor that has ever lived". Further more in the story Bridges was also claimed to likely win the Academy Awards. The film has recently earned him his fifth nomination to the Oscars which he is thrilled.

Picking up awards will hopefully be Jeff Bridges thing this year. Crazy heart is a film focusing on the life of Bad Blake, a hard-living country singer who's been married many times. It was only through the help of Jean (played by Maggie Gyllenhaal who also got a nomination), a journalist, did he receive salvation from his weary life.

A dramatic plot that turned the awakening of people's interest to the beauty of country music plus a role that definitely meant established in the mind--Jeff bridges is definitely one of the best actors that people should salute. Santa Barbara truly is lucky to have him as its son.
