Last night A-List actors and actresses such as Leonardo Dicaprio,
Clint Eastwood,
Sean Penn, Dakota Fanning,
Amy Adams and many more made their way to the desert for the opening gala of the 20th Annual Palm Springs International Film Festival.
Everyone that was receiving an award felt honored to be part of the festival. One thing that all these actors had on their mind was Golden Globes and Oscars! It actually seemed like the opening gala also marked the beginning of award show season which is a really exciting and nerve wrecking time for industry insiders.
Hollyscoop was on the red carpet for the 20th Annual Palm Springs Film Festival where we got the chance to talk to stars like Leonardo Dicaprio, Clint Eastwood, Anne Hathaway, Ben Stiller, and Dakota Fanning on how they felt about receiving an award and their feelings on award show season.
