Golden Globes

"If I do have some period in which I know some power or money, I will watch out that it does not corrupt me", Francis Ford Coppola told us in December of 1990, when the last installment on his extraordinary Godfather trilogy was being released. Nominated seven times for Golden Globes in the writer and director categories - for The Godfather Part II, The Conversation, Apocalypse Now, The Cotton Club and The Godfather Part III - Coppola won three times: in 1973, for best director and best screenplay, for The Godfather.

Patty Duke, multi-talented child actor who had a long and sometimes troubled career has died.  She was nominated four times for a Golden Globe award and won twice- as Most Promising Newcomer-Female in 1962, for her supporting role in The Miracle Worker, and in 1969 as Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical Motion Picture for Me, Natalie.

Larry Drake, three-time Golden Globe nominee as Best Supporting Actor in Television Drama Series has died, age 67. He earned his Globes nominations (and two Emmys) for his portrayal of Benny Stulwicz, a hulking and lovable developmentally disabled gofer and office help in the fictional law firm of the drama series L.

The 1954 awards were held jointly by the HFCA (Hollywood Foreign Correspondents Association) and the FPAH (Foreign Press Association of Hollywood), the two organizations that would merge in 1955 to form the HFPA (Hollywood Foreign Press Association). The invitation came from The International Press of Hollywood for the Presentation of the Golden Globe and World Film Favorites of 1953, on Friday January 22, 1954 at Club Del Mar, 1910 Ocean Front, Santa Monica.

May your table be plentiful and your day be joyful with family and friends - just like Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman back in one starry Golden Globe night in the 1950s.
