My favorite actor Ewan McGregor, received the 2011 Golden Space Needle award for outstanding achievement in acting at the 37th Seattle International Film Festival on Sunday.

Ewan has starred in mainstream films such as The Island, Nora, The Ghost Writer, I love you Phillip Morris,The Pillow Book, Velvet Goldmine,Shallow Grave, Trainspotting, Moulin Rouge!, Black Hawk Down ,Angels and Demons, and of course as Obi-Wan Kenobi in the Star Wars Trilogy. But Ewan ,is also established and respected in indie and art house films.

My dear Ewan, was presented the award during a SIFF showing of his new romantic comedy Beginners, which was written and directed by Mike Mills. Ewan and Mills also participated in a Q&A session at the Egyptian.

Dozens of fans and autograph-seekers lined a sidewalk in front of the Egyptian Theater. My Sweet Ewan signed autographs and posed for pictures before receiving the award.
