"While calling her elegant, graceful and "Audrey Hepburn of our generation", Jake Gyllenhaal dropped a couple of expletives in his tribute to Natalie Portman.
Portman is recipient of the Desert Palm Achievement award for actress at the Palm Springs International Film Festival's annual gala. Gyllenhaal claimed he first met her waiting in line at a "Star Wars" convention for her to sign his Queen Amidala doll. He said he hopes she wins the Academy Award for her performance in "Black Swan" so the doll's value will appreciate.
Portman made her entrance in a black miniskirt to the strains of "Swan Lake."
