Lindsay Lohan was honored with the Biggest Comeback Award at the Ischia Film Festival in Italy on Tuesday (15Jul14).

The Mean Girls star was given the festival's trademark seahorse award in recognition for her return to acting as she attempts to rebuild her career following a court-ordered rehab stint last year (13).

Crash director Paul Haggis handed the trophy to Lohan, who said in an emotional speech that she looked forward to working with the Oscar winner in the future.

The Comeback Award arrives on the heels of Lohan's recent announcement that she has been cast as one of the leads in the upcoming London production of David Mamet's Speed-the-Plow this September (14).
