Golden Globe Awards

On August 26, fans can see Sylvester Stallone as a dark superhero in Samaritan, that he also produced. Back in 1977, he received two Golden Globe nominations – Best Actor and Best Screenplay for Rocky.

1954 was an intense year and a tough summer for the newly married Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe. They were living in a suite at the Lexington Hotel in New York, not far from where her famous skirt-blowing scene was filmed in front of the Trans-Lux 52nd Street Theater, for the movie The Seven Year Itch, directed by Billy Wilder, a three-times Golden Globe winner.

A League of Their Own will be back as a series on Amazon, starting on August 12. Back in 1992, Geena Davis received one of her four Golden Globe nominations for her work in director Penny Marshall’s A League of Their Own, co-starring Tom Hanks, Rosie O’Donnell and Madonna.

Forty years have passed since the release of An Officer and a Gentleman in 1982, and everyone remembers the famous scene in which Golden Globe winner (and 4-time nominee) Richard Gere, in his immaculate white military uniform, takes Debra Winger in his arms and carries her out while her factory co-workers cheer wildly. The film, directed by Taylor Hackford and written by Douglas Day Stewart, became an international success, grossing almost $200 million worldwide.

A twice Golden Globe winner with six nominations, Brad Pitt stars as a trained killer in the action/comedy Bullet Train, opening this week. Pitt spoke to the journalists of the Hollywood Foreign Press during several interviews between 1992 and 2004 about working with Robert Redford as a director on A River Runs Through It and as a fellow actor in Spy Game (2001) by Tony Scott, about the actors that he most admired growing up and other directors he worked with.

Jennifer Jason Leigh – now part of the ensemble cast of Sharp Stick (2022) written and directed by Lena Dunham – received the first of two Golden Globe nominations for her portrayal of Dorothy Parker in Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle directed by Alan Rudolph.
