Eastwood lands Spirit award

Clint Eastwood will become the third recipient of the Spirit Of Independence Award at June's Film Independent Awards.

The moviemaker will be honoured by crooner Tony Bennett, the subject of Eastwood's latest film project 'Tony Bennett: The Music Never Ends', providing the singer has recovered from his recent bout of illness.

The 'Dirty Harry' star is the executive producer of the film.

George Clooney claimed the first Spirit award in 2005 and Charlize Theron was honoured last year.
