Golden Globes 2012 Film Winners

One of the most anticipating award events took place yesterday in Los Angeles. I haven't chance to watch it on-line (don't worry Oscars I won't miss!), but I'm going to do it today. Many actors, actresses, directors, composers were at the 69 Annual Golden Globe Awards and gave some interesting interviews on the red carpet, which I'm very excited to see.

Ricky Gervais was the host. His opening speech was something hilarious (watch it below). He said that the Golden Globes are just like the Oscars, but without all that esteem.



As you know, I made my predictions, and I was very lucky to guess many of the winners, except for Best Actress (Drama), Best Supporting Actor, Best Animated Feature, Best Foreign Film and Best Original Song. It's 9 out 14, so I think it is a good result.

My favourite acceptance speech was said by Michelle Williams, who told us that she considers herself the mother first and the actress second and thanked her daughter. So touching. The most emotional winner was Meryl Streep. I adore this woman.

You can also read some interesting quotes of the night on The Guardian website. And some interesting videos from the big event you can find here.

"The Help" (2011) - Trailer #1

Based on one of the most talked about books in years and a #1 New York Times best-selling phenomenon by novelist Kathryn Stockett, “The Help” stars Emma Stone (“Easy A”) as Skeeter, Academy Award-nominated Viola Davis (“Doubt”) as Aibileen and Octavia Spencer as Minny - three very different, extraordinary women in Mississippi during the 1960s, who build an unlikely friendship around a secret writing project that breaks societal rules and puts them all at risk. From their improbable alliance a remarkable sisterhood emerges, instilling all of them with the courage to transcend the lines that define them, and the realization that sometimes those lines are made to be crossed - even if it means bringing everyone in town face-to-face with the changing times. Directed and written by Tate Taylor, “The Help” is deeply moving, filled with poignancy, humor and hope. It is a timeless and universal story about the ability to create change.

В 2009 году писательница Кэтрин Стокетт написала свой первый роман, который стал сенсацией года и бестселлером New York Times. Историей быстро заинтересовались кинематографисты, и уже в этом году на экраны выходит одноименный кинофильм "Прислуга" с актрисой Эммой Стоун в роли Скитер, номинанткой на Оскар Виолой Дэвис в роли Эйбилин и Октавией Спенсер в роли Минни. Эти три героини являются совершенно разными, необычными женщинами, проживающими в штате Миссисипи в 60х годах прошлого века. Работая вместе над книгой, которая должна перевернуть представление людей о привычной для них социальной дискриминации темнокожих женщин, они становятся отличными подругами. Тейт Тейлор выступил режиссером и сценаристом, что бы рассказать нам эту трогательную, сильную историю, наполненную юмором и надеждой изменить мир к лучшему.

Release dates - August 10, 2011 (UK, USA), November 17, 2011 (Germany), November 23, 2011 (France)
