Brush Up On Your Golden Globes
2009 has been a banner year for Hollywood — and with yesterday’s announcement of the Golden Globe nominees, it’s officially awards season. Before you watch the nominees work the red carpet (and, perhaps, get tipsy during the broadcast), hear how they got there in the first place.
Check out Kurt's candid conversations with some of the nominees about being (and staying) creative in Hollywood.
Kathryn Bigelow was nominated for Best Director for “The Hurt Locker” (which is also nominated for Best Picture and Best Screenplay)
Jason Reitman’s also up for Best Director for “Up in the Air” (which is also nominated for Best Picture and four other awards), based on the book by Walter Kirn.
Marvin Hamlisch was nominated for his killer score for “The Informant!”
Gabourey Sidibe was nominated for Best Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama for her break-out performance in “Precious.”
And coming up…
James Cameron was just in the studio to talk about his new movie “Avatar” – listen for that interview this weekend. And later this month, we’ll talk to David Shore (creator of the nominated TV series “House”) about his hero’s not-so-secret resemblance to Sherlock Holmes.
