Johnny was awarded with the Sant Jordi Honor Award!
Last night (April 19), happened the 65th Sant Jordi Award for Cinematography (Premis Sant Jordi de Cinematografia), which is sponsored by the Catalan branch of the Spanish radio network Radio Nacional de España and rewards the most outstanding national and foreign movies. The winners were announced during a gala event at Cinemes Verdi in Barcelona, and Johnny was the first to be awarded with the special “Honor Award”. Although he couldn’t attend the event once he had already left the country on Sunday (April 17), a pre-recorded video made during the press conference of “Minamata” at the 5th Barcelona Sant Jordi International Film Festival on April 16, showing him receiving and thanking for the award was screened during the event and a snippet of the moment of the recording was released on the RTVE Catalunya Twitter.
> Johnny Depp’s words:
“Thank you very much. I mostly thank you to all of you, to the people especially, for inviting me to Spain, to Barcelona, to inviting me to this wonderful festival and for honoring me with such a prestigious and a special award. It’s a beautiful piece of art, as well. So thank to you everyone for everything and we’ll see down on the road. Gracias”
