The New Orleans Film Festival's Patron Party and Gala was just held on September 29th, celebrating resident and brilliant actor John Goodman. Mr. Goodman was on hand to accept the 2011 Celluloid Award, representing his body of work and the great things he's done for the city of New Orleans. It was a fun night had by all, and a great way to kickoff the 22nd Annual New Orleans Film Festival in a couple of weeks. You can checkout the entire lineup of films and fest schedule here.
