Javier Bardem

The 2000s Golden Globes were a glamorous,  natural, modern look we've come to appreciate.  Always a fashion leader as the first awards show of the season, the Golden Globes is a must-see for any fashion aficionado.

A few days ago, Golden Globe nominee John Leguizamo called out the casting of Golden Globe winner James Franco as Fidel Castro in Alina of Cuba: la hija rebelde. The film is a portrayal of Alina Fernández Revuelta, the illegitimate daughter of the leftist leader with socialite Natalia Revuelta.

Javier Bardem, nominated as Best Actor for the Golden Globes and the Academy for his performance as Ricky Ricardo in Being the Ricardos, spoke to the journalists of the Hollywood Foreign Press in 2004 about the Spanish movie Mar adentro (The Sea Inside) directed by Alejandro Aménabar, Golden Globe winner as Foreign Picture in 2005.   He supported the fight of Ramón Sampredo for the right to end his life, after becoming a quadriplegic at age 25 in a diving accident.

Whether he’s playing a sociopathic hitman, pirate, underwear model/bullfighter, detective or painter, Javier Angel Encinas Bardem seems to have no boundaries to the unique creative stamp he puts on every role he inhabits on screen. Now the 52-year-old Spanish native enters the fray as bandleader, singer, and television pioneer, portraying Desi Arnaz in Aaron Sorkin’s Being the Ricardos, which earned the actor his fifth Golden Globe nomination as Best Actor in a Motion Picture Drama (he previously won for No Country for Old Men).

Everybody loved I Love Lucy, a TV show so popular that, as we are reminded in the new film Being the Ricardos, audiences weren't going anywhere that night of the week, the show averaging 60 million viewers each episode, basically a 90% share at that time (the 50s). The film, written and directed by Aaron Sorkin, reminds us also about the relationship between American comedienne Lucille Ball (played by Nicole Kidman) and Cuban husband Desi Arnaz (Javier Bardem), partners extraordinaire in life and art, just before the Cuban revolution of 1959 would forever alter the relationship between the two countries.

Golden Globe winner Javier Bardem is a huge heavy metal fan. He was excited to reveal what he did this past summer:“I saw Metallica, Judas Priest, Scorpions, Accept, Ozzy Osbourne, Kiss, Iron Maiden twice, and Pearl Jam, in less than a month and a half.

In Toronto with director Asghar Farhadi’s Everybody Knows, Javier Bardem talks to HFPA journalist Gabriel Lerman about the unique experience of shooting a film in Spain, spoken in Spanish, under the guidance of an Iranian filmmaker.

Two-time nominee and Golden Globe winner Asghar Farhadi is an accomplished cinematic storyteller whose intimate films often revolve around the slow burn of inexorable emotional turmoil. His movies are triumphs of economy whose strength lies precisely in their narrative restraint, and they have garnered worldwide acclaim, not least the jury and screenwriting prizes previously won here in Cannes.

One of the most controversial films to come out of Venice and Toronto, mother! is Darren Aronofsky’s attempt at what you could call a universal allegory. Set in a large house rising in a pristine field, it tells the story of the couple (Jennifer Lawrence and Javier Bardem) living in it – alone – until an increasingly strange assortment of visitors begins showing up with ever more startling consequences.

The star power of Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem dominates this celebration of the 74th Venice Film Festival. Much of this gallery features this pair of talented actors because much of the red carpet was filled with gowns that, although trending, simply show too much décolletage or underwear.
