Angelina Jolie's award presentation was made all the more special as it was delivered by her godmother Jacqueline Bisset.

Bisset, 80, gave a loving introduction to Jolie, 49, at the Palm Springs International Film Festival’s film awards gala on Friday, Jan. 3, praising the Oscar winner’s work in Maria . For her leading role as opera star Maria Callas, Jolie earned a Desert Palm Achievement Award at the event.

"It is such a thrill to be here with you tonight to present this award to Angelina Jolie, who just happens to be my goddaughter, and whose mother Marcheline was one of my dearest friends,” said the British actress onstage at the Palm Springs Convention Center.

Bisset added that she was "immensely proud" of Jolie in her career and as a humanitarian and "exceptional mother."

Jolie thanked Bisset in her acceptance speech along with those she worked with on Maria "for allowing me to have a voice, and to find mine again."

She continued, "I'm very grateful for our director Pablo Larrain. I was so scared to do this film ... it was a privilege to be on this journey with you. The freedom to express and create is the greatest."

Jolie, who attended the ceremony with her daughter Zahara, 19, added of her portrayal of Maria Callas, "Callas was loved. But Maria was often alone. But I'm all right because when I walk off this stage, I am more myself because of you, Zahara, and your brothers and sisters."



She held onto her trophy backstage at the awards ceremony as she posed for a photo alongside Bisset.

For her role in Maria, Jolie has earned recognition this awards season from the Gotham Awards, Golden Globes, Critics Choice Awards and more.

Of her honor at the Palm Springs Film Festival awards gala, Festival Chairman Nachhattar Singh Chandi said in a statement, “Maria presents the iconic Angelina Jolie in the role of a lifetime as she embodies Maria Callas, the world-renowned opera legend. Jolie’s extraordinary portrayal captures the heart and complexity of an artist whose life was as captivating as her music.”

Receiving the Gothams’ Performer Tribute in December, Jolie shouted out her mom Marcheline Bertrand, who died in 2007 at age 56, after a battle with ovarian cancer.

Bisset revealed to PEOPLE in 2021 that Jolie’s mother asked her to be "godmother when Angie was in the tummy."

She said the two became close friends, "around 1971 while filming End of the Game with director Maximilian Schell and [Jolie's father] Jon Voight, who [Bertrand] was married to at the time."

Among her over 100 film and TV credits, Bisset once almost starred with her goddaughter and Brad Pitt in 2005’s Mr. & Mrs. Smith. However, after she filmed her brief scenes, the part was reworked and recast.

Maria is now in theaters and streaming on Netflix.

Angelina Jolie got to spend some quality time with her godmother Jacqueline Bisset on a recent Paris business trip.
Jolie was in the City of Lights earlier this week for a few business endeavors, including the launch of the new Mon Guerlain Eau de Parfum Intense with Guerlain. Jolie shot a new spot for the fragrance in Cambodia, a country close to her heart and the birthplace of her first son Maddox, now 17.

While in Paris debuting the fragrance promotion, the actress and activist stepped out for dinner with Bisset at the world-famous Brasserie Lipp, where several authors, including Ernest Hemingway, used to hang out.
Bisset was named Jolie’s godmother thanks to her strong connection to Marcheline Bertrand, Jolie’s late mom. Bertrand died of ovarian cancer in 2007 after over 7 years of battling the disease. She was 56.
“Angelina was with her godmother, who is very important to her,” a source tells PEOPLE of the trip. “They’re very close, and Jacqueline is someone Angelina has admired for a long time. And of course, there is the connection to her mom.”
...
The new film for the fragrance that Jolie debuted was filmed in her Cambodian home. Jolie has close ties to the country and continues to advocate through the Maddox Jolie Pitt Foundation, named after her oldest child.

Actress Jacqueline Bissett has opened up about her friendship with Hollywood star Angelina Jolie .
The Golden Globe winner was on Loose Women when she admitted she couldn't believe how the star juggles her busy life.
"Six children, a husband, a career, and directing I don't know how she does it. I don't know how any human being can do that.
"What I admire is that she carries a kind of quality of peace that just emanates from her."
The 71-year-old, who was close friends with Angelina's mother Marcheline Bertrand who passed away from breast cancer in 2007, said that although she is godparent to Angelina she "rarely" sees her because she doesn't want to bother her.
"Unfortunately I haven't developed a close relationship with Angelina, I see her rarely but I'm very admiring of her.
"What I find difficult is she's become so famous. So many people are pulling on her time, I'm a little bit shy and I don't want to be someone who tries to take advantage of her.
"Occasionally people say to me, 'Oh you know Angelina Jolie', and I say 'no she needs her space and she needs to do her number' but she's pretty remarkable."
Jacqueline stars in the recent film Miss You Already alongside Toni Colette and Drew Barrymore , who also appeared on the ITV chat show just last week.
There are some perks to having a major Hollywood star as a friend, as Jacqueline revealed she was all set to make a cameo in 2005 hit Mr and Mrs Smith but was left on the cutting room floor.
"I played a very small part in her film, Mr and Mrs Smith, I was supposed to be Brad Pitt's boss and Terry Stamp was her boss.
"But it didn't work out, they cut us, they didn't like two English people or something, and they put two African-Americans in and they didn't like them either and then it never ended up in the film.
"But I watched her on the set and she was so together, she was just joyful and friendly and amazing and I thought this woman's going to be a director."
