Golden Globe Awards

There is nobody quite like this dame. Dame Helen Mirren, that is.

“I’m excited and curious,” says the husky voiced Alicia Vikander about the upcoming award season. She is taking a break from shooting Bourne, and reflecting on a string of roles that have defined her as the new it girl.

Lily Tomlin is a double nominee as Best Actress in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy for Grandma directed by Paul Weitz, and Best Actress in a TV Series Comedy for Grace and Frankie, where she co-stars with Jane Fonda, her friend since she convinced Lily to star with her and Dolly Parton in 9 to 5 (1980), a film that Fonda produced. Tomlin started her career as a stand-up comedian and became famous for the characters she created on the television variety show Laugh-In (1969-1973), such as Ernestine the telephone operator and Edith Ann the 5-year-old girl sitting in a chair.

How about we travel back to January 22, 1954, and a very special Golden Globe ceremony held at Club Del Mar in Santa Monica, California? Grace Kelly won a Globe as best supporting actress for her work in Mogambo, and received it from the hands of Robert Taylor and Eleanor Parker. Spencer Tracy won the best actor Golden Glove for his performance in The Actress (he seems absolutely intrigued by Grace Kelly in this photo…) What made the gala unique: it was co-sponsored by the HFCA and the FPAH, the two organizations that, one year later, would merge to form the HFPA.
