Controversial film director Roman Polanski was finally able to collect his lifetime achievement award from the Zurich film festival last night, a whole two years after he was arrested over child sex charges on his way to accept the prize back in 2009.
Polanski was unexpectedly detained on an American warrant when he landed at Zurich airport in September 09, on his way to the film festival. He was jailed and then placed under house arrest for more than 6 months, while the Swiss authorities decided whether to send him back to the US.
