Ben Affleck Accepts Award From Pal Matt Damon at the Santa Barbara Int’l Film Festival — VIDEO
After a two-hour Q&A session moderated by film critic Leonard Maltin, Affleck, 40, received his accolade at Santa Barbara’s Arlington Theatre.
In his presentation, Damon said of his friend: “So here he is now. He’s made three fantastic movies, one better than the next… This last one, Argo, is a legitimately great movie… No one’s gonna be surprised if it wins the Oscar for best picture.” He then referred to Affleck as “undeniably two things — my very old friend and a very young master” before calling his pal up to the podium and giving him a bro-hug.
See video of their interaction and Ben’s award acceptance below.
