Oscar winner Faye Dunaway is scrubbing in on Grey’s Anatomy, Entertainment Weekly’s Michael Ausiello has learned exclusively.
Sources confirm exclusively to EW.com that Dunaway has signed on for at least one episode of Grey’s to air in February. She’ll play a renowned doc at the hospital who crosses paths with the Chief, Cristina and Owen.
A breathless Kate Winslet, the first winner of the night at Sunday’s Golden Globes – as best supporting actress for The Reader – proved to be a double winner by evening’s end. She was also named best leading actress in the drama Revolutionary Road.
As determined by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, Winslet, along with Mickey Rourke, Colin Farrell, Happy-Go-Lucky’s Sally Hawkins, the late Heath Ledger, Slumdog Millionaire, and Woody Allen’s Vicky Cristina Barcelona were the top winners in the film categories.
The HBO miniseries John Adams, AMC’s Mad Men and NBC’s multiple-winner 30 Rock took TV honors.
Winslet Grows Tearful
Apologizing to her sister nominees for best actress Anne Hathaway, Angelina Jolie (whose name she momentarily forgot), Meryl Streep and Kristin Scott Thomas, Winslet grew progressively tearful as she delivered her thanks “off the cuff.”
“Leo,” she said, looking at her costar in the film, her long-ago Titanic screen lover Leonardo DiCaprio, “I am so happy I can stand here and tell you I love you, and have for 13 years.”
She also thanked her husband Sam Mendes, who directed Revolutionary Road, for putting her and DiCaprio “through hell every day.”
Mickey Rourke – whose star rose in the ’80s only to flame out – was named best dramatic actor for The Wrestler, and acknowledged, “This has been a really long road back for me.”
He also suggested he might be better off if Robert Downey Jr. came up and delivered his speech for him, though Rourke ultimately proved both eloquent and colorful.
Top Picture
Slumdog Millionaire, about a young man in India whose arduous life unfolds during his stint on his country’s version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, was named best dramatic picture. It also took home Globes for its director Danny Boyle, as well as for its original score and screenplay.
Letty Aronson, who produced her brother Woody Allen’s Vicky Cristina Barcelona, accepted the top comedy picture Globe on behalf of her notoriously introverted sibling.
The HBO historical drama John Adams swept the TV categories, with Globes going to leading actor Paul Giamatti, actress Laura Linney, supporting actor Tom Wilkinson and producer Tom Hanks, for best miniseries.
Mad Man was named best dramatic series.
Alec Baldwin, who won for best actor in a comedy series for his huffy network exec on NBC’s 30 Rock, thanked show creator, writer and his costar Tina Fey three times. He also thanked his daughter Ireland, “who makes me laugh when I’m home.”
Colin Farrell appeared genuinely surprised to be named best actor in a comedy for In Bruges. He thanked his director, Martin McDonagh, for ignoring his advice to cast someone else in his role.
While Brad Pitt’s The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Angelina Jolie’s Changeling were shut out of the awards, the duo received plenty of attention – from one another. Throughout the three-hour ceremony in the international ballroom of the Beverly Hilton Hotel, the pair were openly affectionate.
I had some people asking me last night what Evan Rachel Wood’s tattoo said, so I did some more searching, and I found it! It says “All that we see or seem. Is but a dream within a dream.” It is a quote by Edgar Allen Poe.
STOP READING IF YOU DON’T WANT TO BE SPOILED…
8:02 – Jennifer Lopez is freaking annoying, and not wearing her ring! Hmmm… drama.
8:03 – Kate Winslet wins for “The Reader” – note to self, must go see this movie. Love Kate, glad she won!
8:06 – If Miley Cyrus wins for best song, I’m going to make my next drink a double.
8:08 – Bruce Springsteen wins for “The Wrestler” – I can’t tell you how bad I want to see that!! I have no idea if I spelled his name right. Too lazy to google it. (PS: I just googled it, and shock! I spelled it right!)
8:13 – Commercial break, and I’m drinking pineapple juice with Vodka and Chambord. Very nice.
8:14 – Wish I could read lips, I want to know what Brad Pitt just said to Robert Downey Jr. PS: Eva Longoria looks great. PPS: Rumer Willis should not be a redhead.
8:16 – Troy just says to me “Can you believe Ashton Kutcher is still with Demi Moore? What the crap.” I don’t think he even reads my blog, so I’m proud he even knows they’re together.
Love Tom Wilkinson, glad he won.
8: 17 – Is it wrong that I don’t want to see “John Adams”? – Is Tom Wilkinson already drunk?
8:21 – I like seeing what everyone’s doing when the commercial breaks end. Who are they talking to? Can I read their lips? (Still, no)
8:27 – I’ve decided I really dislike Eva Mendes’ dress. What is that on her hip?
8:29 - Please God, let John Hamm win for Mad Men. Hair that awesome, has got to be good for something. Gabrielle Bryne won. WHAT!? He didn’t even show up! I was rooting for you, John.
8:30 – Best actress, tv show. Sally Field is good, but all she does is cry! Give it to January Jones! (Mad Men rocks) Oh wait, I love Kyra Sedgewick too…Hmmm, tough call. Golden Globe goes to Anna Paquin! Okay, I’m not getting what I want so far. I tried watching True Blood, and it’s too gory for me. I can’t handle that stuff HBO! Hurry up and bring Big Love back.
8:36 – Ricky Gervais is not funny. Well, at least I don’t think he’s funny. Okay, he might be a little funny. And he’s drinking on stage. That’s funny.
Erin and I have been trying for about a week to see “Happy Go Lucky” and it’s just not happening. Erin – we have to go see it this week!
The Jonas Brothers: two words come to mind… Brown and hair.
Wall-E is one of my favorite movies of 2008 – so glad it won!!
PS: I’m not checking spelling or anything…so hopefully this isn’t terrible. (Only on drink 2, so I should be good for a while)
8:42 – Is it just me, or does Johnny Depp look really uncomfortable? It must be hard to be that freaking cool. I wish he would shave his goatee off, if you can’t grow it in fully, then don’t even bother. Okay, whatever, you’re still hot.
Sally Hawkins just won for Happy Go Lucky…will have to go see that this week. ERIN! (Sally looks like she’s going to pass out…that would be a Golden Globes first)
8:51 – THANK GOD JAKE GYLLENHAAL FINALLY CUT HIS HAIR! Benjamin Button is freaking awesome.
8:53 – Drew Barrymore and Jessica Lange appear to be all over each other. No matter what the reason, it just looks strange. (For the record, they’re promoting their new movie, “Grey Gardens.” Whatever.
Just caught Troy taking swigs of my drink. Hmm…
8:57 – Demi Moore has found the fountain of youth…she does not age!! Supporting actor: I secretly want Tom Cruise to win. Okay, I would be okay with Robert Downey Jr. too. Heath Ledger is going to win… hands down.
Yep, I was right Heath Ledger won. That’s fair…he should have won it. Everyone is standing. Christopher Nolan accepting the award. RIP Heath.
This is getting really long – I’ll put the rest after the jump! (more…)
