MUMBAI: Popular actor, Jennifer Aniston, will be honoured with Montecito Award at the upcoming 30th Annual Santa Barbara International Film Festival at the historic Arlington Theatre.

First bestowed in 2005, the annual award recognises “a performer who has given a series of classic and standout performances throughout his or her career and whose style has made a major contribution to film.”
Aniston joins actors including Daniel Day-Lewis, Geoffrey Rush, Julianne Moore, Kate Winslet, Javier Bardem, Naomi Watts, Annette Bening and last year’s recipient Oprah Winfrey, who have been awarded with the honour.
The 30th annual festival will be held between 27 January and 7 February; and Aniston will be honoured 30 January.
