Natalie Portman won the first-ever “Movie for Humanity Award” at the Venice Film Festival.

The Venice Film Festival was a time of firsts for actress Natalie Portman. Not only did she get to premiere her directorial debut film, Eve, she was also the recipient of the festival’s first-ever “Movie for Humanity Award.” The 27-year-old Star Wars actress was presented with the $50,000 prize for her efforts in social and environmental programs. Portman donated her winnings to the Jane Goodall Institute in Tanzania, where she works with the Institute’s TACARE Girls’ Scholarship Program. Portman spoke about the award saying, “The Jane Goodall foundation does incredible work in Tanzania, an area which is very environmentally affected. I really appreciate this award.”

Earlier today Natalie attended the photocall for her movie “Eve” at the 65th Venice Film Festival. Nat kept it casual and very chic with jeans and a t-shirt.

Sorry for the delay with these pictures, but here they are! Natalie looks very beautiful as usual, more coming soon hopefully.

Hey guys,
The first trailer for the upcoming New York I Love you has been released! The cast in this film really is fantastic, it should be a great film. Keep watching till the end for Natalie.

According to ChinaDaily.com Natalie is rumored to be joining a new Sci-Fi Thriller directed by Luc Besson. Milla Jovovich is also rumored to be joining the cast. So far this is all I could find, so this may be purely rumor.

South Korean actor Dong-Kun Jang will act in the new thriller by French director Luc Besson, the Information Times reported on Wednesday. International stars Natalie Portman and Milla Jovovich are also expected to star in the film. Set in present-day New York, the film will chronicle subplots triggered by serial killings. Based on an award-winning novel by a South Korean college professor, the Korean-French film, yet to be titled, will start filming in early 2009.
