I will be going to the USA December/January. It’s Pilot Season in Los Angeles and will meet up with my contacts over there to introduce some of my actors. More info for the USA – Nominations for Golden Globe Awards.
It is always said that the Golden Globes are a good indication of who will be nominated for an Oscar.
Sometimes it’s true. Sometimes the Golden Globes are a bit of a popularity contest.
Anyway, in my opinion to be nominated or to win is wonderful either way.

I think some of these categories all the actors and actresses should ‘win’. I haven’t seen all these films or shows — but Clint Eastwood can do no wrong by me and is an amazing human being! Go Clint!
House is a favorite and Hugh Laurie says the single hardest thing he has to do every day is to use his American accent!
30 Rock created by Tina Fey (remember, she ran for Vice-President of the USA), was quite a leap of faith for her and I really like to know that people are willing to take chances — and better yet — have them become successful!
