Awards Daily is reporting that Angelina Jolie is going to be honored by the Santa Barbara Film Festival with their Outstanding Performance of the Year award for her work in A Mighty Heart. Will this accolade strengthen her chances for the Oscar nod? Only time will tell.
In the meantime, Jolie is setting to work on The Changeling, a true life drama about a woman in 1920s LA who is committed to an asylum and then takes down the corrupt LA politcal system after the police return the wrong child, claiming they have found her missing son.
She will be joined by John Malkovich and Amy Ryan, who is currently getting a lot of buzz for her performance in Gone, Baby, Gone. Clint Eastwood will direct.
