Oscar winner Susan Sarandon was the toast of the Stockholm International Film Festival in Sweden on Saturday when she was honoured for her long-running movie career.
The Hollywood actress, 63, was presented with the lifetime achievement prize, a bronze horse statuette weighing a hefty 15 pounds (7.3 kilograms), by Swedish actor Gustaf Hammarsten.
Paying tribute to the Thelma and Louise star, Hammarsten said, "The roles Susan Sarandon has played often gain a life of their own beyond the films themselves.
"Reflection, seduction and rebellion animate her characters and seem to be the key tools in her actor's repertoire."
Accepting the award, Sarandon vowed to continue working for as long as possible.
She told the audience, "I am very happy that I'm still working, that I'm able to get jobs when a lot of people that I started out with are no longer working. I still have a really good time, and as long as that continues I'll continue to do it."
French director Luc Besson is also set to be honoured at the annual event, which runs until 29 November.
