At the "Golden Globe Eve" event, serving as a prelude to the Golden Globe Awards, actresses Sarah Jessica Parker and Oscar winner Helen Mirren were each presented with honorary awards.
According to an Associated Press report, on the "Golden Globe Eve" stage, actor Matthew Broderick stepped up to present the Carol Burnett Award to his wife of nearly 30 years, recognizing her lifetime achievements in television.
Broderick revealed that back in the 1990s, when his wife first received the script for "Sex and the City," he had questioned her: "Do you really want to do a TV series?" Unexpectedly, Parker went on to find fame with the role of "Carrie Bradshaw," accumulating a total of six Golden Globes and two Emmy Awards. In her acceptance speech, she emotionally stated: "Being able to call myself an actor makes me feel incredibly honored, and it has made my dreams come true."
The "Golden Globe Eve," held to recognize outstanding actors for their lifetime achievements, presented this year's Cecil B. DeMille Award—a symbol of lifetime achievement—to actress Helen Mirren, with veteran star Harrison Ford invited to serve as the presenter.
The 80-year-old Mirren won the Oscar for Best Actress for her brilliant performance in the 2006 film "The Queen" and has previously won three Golden Globes; this year, she earned her fourth Golden Globe nomination for the TV series "MobLand." In her speech, she mentioned: "I was told that the DeMille Award is a recognition of my career, but I prefer to view it as an affirmation of life—a review of life, an enjoyment of life, the harvest after sweating it out, and an expectation for the life to come."
Subsequently, Mirren paid tribute to her fellow actresses with a tone full of dramatic tension: "Some women have always inspired me and always will, and some names I hold in my heart—Madonna, Barbra Streisand, Cher, Sarah Jessica Parker, Meryl Streep, the Kates and the Cates, and the supreme goddess Viola Davis."
