Christopher Nolan Acceptance Speech On Behalf Of The Late Heath Ledger
Posted on 12. Jan, 2009 by CSS.
Heath Ledger was posthumously honored for his portrayal of the demented Joker in the Summer 2008 blockbuster The Dark Knight at the 2009 Golden Globes.
The actor, who died of an overdose in January 2008, won the trophy for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama during Sunday night’s ceremony at the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills. Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan accepted the award for Heath. “On behalf of all of us who worked with Heath on Dark Knight, I accept this with mix of sadness and incredible pride,” Nolan said. “He will be eternally missed but he will never be forgotten.”
“We are overjoyed for him,” Heath’s dad, Kim Ledger, told PEOPLE on Sunday. “It’s wonderful.”

Golden Globes Website Messes Up- Announces Best Actress Winner Too Soon.*UPDATE*
Posted on 11. Jan, 2009 by CSS.
The 66th Annual Golden Globes will air on tonight, January 11th on NBC, where Rumer Willis will serve as Miss Golden Globes 2009. Extra learned of a snafu that occurred on the Golden Globes website and it’s not apparent yet if it’s a whopper or much adieu about nothing.
For a short time, the Golden Globes website showed there was a winner in the Best Actress in a Motion Picture category. The winner was reported to be Anne Hathaway for her role in Rachel Getting Married.
The GG folks indicate it was “accidental” and Hathaway’s rep called it just a “glitch”. One might assume, therefore, that the website was being prepared in advance so that it could be quickly published for viewers immediately after the broadcast.
The talented actress won Best Actress at the Critics’ Choice Awards on Thursday night for Rachel Getting Married.
We will all find out tonight if it was really just a mishap… If it wasn’t i’m guessing someone might not have a job to show up for tomorow…
Update:
Just a fluke! Kate Winslett took the honor.

The Golden Globes HomeTownHollywood Preview:
Posted on 10. Jan, 2009 by CSS.
The 66th Annual Golden Globes will take place Sunday, January 11th, 2009, airing on NBC at 8 p.m. EST. Though they’re announcing the start of the show at 8 pm., my guess is that it will be the same as two years ago, and NBC will do an exclusive half-hour pre-show at eight, then the ceremony will start at 8:30 p.m.
The 65th Golden Globes didn’t go on last year because of the writers’ strike. It seems as though the Globes were sorely missed, because *everyone* is showing up for Sunday’s party. There are a lot of A-list talents nominated this year – I’ve covered the Golden Globes nominations here:
Here’s a run-down of the some of the top celebrities nominated: Colin Farrell, Robert Downey Jr., Tom Cruise, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Kate Winslet, Heath Ledger, Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Ralph Fiennes, Dustin Hoffman, Emma Thompson, Frank Langella, Phillip Seymour Hoffman and John Hamm!
Here are some highlights of who’s scheduled to present/appear: Steven Spielberg, Johnny Depp, Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore, P.Diddy, Sting, Sandra Bullock, Pierce Brosnan, The Jonas Borthers, Glenn Close, Ricky Gervais, Jennifer Lopez, Salma Hayek, Kate Beckinsale, Josh Brolin, Marisa Tomei, Amy Adams, Kevin Bacon, Elizabeth Banks, Angela Bassett, Kristen Bell, Sacha Baron Cohen, Amy Poehler, Simon Baker, Laurence Fishburne, Blake Lively, Chris Rock, Seth Rogen and everybody’s favorite Scotsman, Gerard Butler.
Ron Howard will be receiving the Globes’ Lifetime Achievement Award, presented by Frank Langella. In interviews, Langella seems like the most boring man in the world, but maybe he’ll summon some personality for the presentation. I’ve got to think that Tom Hanks would have been a better choice for it, but Hanks seems to be the only celebrity not attending.
And guess who’s Miss Golden Globe this year? Rumer Willis! She was supposed to be Miss Golden Globe last year, so I guess they didn’t feel like finding someone new. Traditionally, the position goes to some semi-prominent daughter of Hollywood. Melanie Griffith was a Miss Golden Globe when she was younger, and a few years ago it was Jack Nicholson’s daughter. The job entails shepherding the presenters and winners off the stage quickly.
E! will be doing a countdown show from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., then the formal red carpet arrival show starting at six. There are some murmurings that Fox News and MSNBC will also be doing some live red carpet coverage, probably depending on whether there’s any actual breaking news in the world.
Who are you hoping wins??
