Weintraub and "Juno" get awards

The Palm Springs International Film Festival and the SAG Foundation will honor producer Jerry Weintraub with its Patron of the Arts award at its Awards Gala. Weintraub has produced "Ocean's Thirteen," "Nancy Drew," the original 1977 "Oh, God!," as well as "National Lampoon's Vegas Vacation," the "Karate Kid" movies, "Nashville," "Cruising" and "Diner."

And since no post is complete without a mention of "Juno," the festival will also give it their Chairman's Vanguard award.  Previously, "Little Miss Sunshine" got it.
