Quentin Tarantino celebrates his American Riviera Award with Moet

Django Unchained director Quentin Tarantino was given the American Riviera Award, which recognizes an artist who has had a strong influence on American Cinema, by Moet & Chandon, at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival. Tarantino said that the flute atop the mini champagne reminded him of a shot glass so he pulled it out and drank directly from the bottle!

Moet presented Tarantino with a crystallized jeroboam of Moet Imperial, which he said was going straight to his bar at home.
