Santa Barbara Hearts Oprah

In case you didn’t know, Oprah is once again in the mix of Oscar hopefuls this season – after getting nominated for the first time almost 30 years ago! – for her supporting turn in Lee Daniels’ The Butler.

And she’s already racking up the hardware, for the “gusto” with which she played Gloria Gaines, the wife of the titular character in the historical drama.

The Big O will be honored with the Montecito Award at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival in February.

Well look at her.
