Golden Globes 2009
It’s been almost 3 weeks since the winners of the Globes was annouced yet I still remember strongly how I felt as the night progressed. Being British I was overcome with a deep sense of pride and patriotism hearing the list of nominees for the various categories and watching the winners make their acceptance speeches.
I hadn’t actually checked out the nominees list in detail prior to the night but there was a great representation of actors/actresses, directors and productions from the fair isles called Britain. I’ve long spoken to my friends in the US of the many hit tv shows that have a British or Irish actor/actress cast in the headline role. I’ve also harbo(u)red intentions to get into some acting workshops ever since my string of performances as a budding actor in small primary school productions (yes I was once Merlin in King Arthur). The greatest thing about films, movies and tv for me is how it can inspire the audience. Through a story, performance, direction and/or photography it can touch and provoke an audience.
It’s great to see these people recognized for their work. However, it also reminds me of the talented people in the industry that don’t get the recognition and respect they deserve. Anyway, afer this recent bout of inspiration and suggestion from my lady, we’ve decided to sign up for acting classes or a workshop. Hollywood here I come(!)
