GOLDEN GLOBES HONOR ACTRESSES IN MOVIES AND TELEVISION

Jennifer Hudson, America Ferrara and Helen Mirren are among the actresses who won Golden Globes for their roles in movies and television.

The worlds of motion picture and television came together on the 64th Annual Golden Globe awards. George Clooney began the festivities breaking the ice by announcing the winner for the best supporting actress motion picture as Leonardo DiCaprio.

Jennifer Hudson won for her role as Effie in Dreamgirls. Kyra Sedgwick brought tears to her husband Kevin Bacon’s eyes winning for TV series drama The Closer.

Jennifer Hudson: “Because of this it makes me feel like I’m a part of a community. And it makes me feel like an actress and you do not understand how much that feels good to say. Kyra Sedgwick: Most of all I need to thank my amazing family. My one and only, my only one Kevin and my amazing kids Travis and Sosie. And I’ve actually made Jack Nicholson laugh. I’m not quite sure why but I’m very pleased. Thank you so much for this.”

Helen Mirren felt like royalty for being doubly crowned for best actress for Elizabeth I and The Queen. America Ferrara felt beautiful for her best actress Golden Globe in a TV series comedy for Ugly Betty.

Helen Mirren: And I honestly feel that this award belongs to her because I think you fell in love with her not because of me and I just tried to make her as truthful to herself as possible. However she already has an orb that goes with her scepter so I will gratefully receive this one. America Ferrara: Thank you to the Hollywood Foreign Press for recognizing this show and this character who is truly bringing a new face to television. And such a beautiful message about beauty that lies deeper than what we see and it’s such an honor to play a role that I hear from young girls on a daily basis how it makes them feel worthy and lovable and they have more to offer the world than they thought. And it’s such an honor to play this role.”

Meryl Streep who donated her costumes to benefit breast cancer won best actress for The Devil Wears Prada and encouraged audiences to demand movies stay longer in theaters.
