SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - She is in some of the most iconic movies from the 2000s.

And Friday the remarkable Kate Hudson arrived at the Santa Barbara Arlington Theater smiling ear to ear to be honored with the Arlington Artist of the Year Award

The prestigious award was given to Hudson for her role as Claire Sardina in the critically acclaimed musical drama, "Song Sung Blue” where she delivers a sophisticated performance, making the audience feel every emotion through the movie screen.

“It’s not very often you get to do everything I was able to do in the movie in one film," said Hudson. "And Claire, portraying her life, you know she’s a real woman, she’s still alive today, was such a privilege and allowed me to explore things I haven’t been able to explore before on film."

“I think there’s so much heart and the fact that the characters are so relatable in an every man and every woman character role, it’s so exciting to see her here." said SBIFF Director of Development, Benjamin Bhutani Goedert.
