Elizabeth: The Golden Age


Pasaway na talaga ako. Stargazing has become an addiction not even a pressing essay deadline can cure. Somebody save me.


Red carpet roundup
Number of LPG-powered lamps: 16
Leaf sweepers with broom and dustpan on the red carpet: 3 (+1 vacuum cleaner)
Hours standing with frozen hands and feet: 3 (front row!)
Big Brother winners: 3 (Posh wannabe Chantelle and the twins, again)
Oscar winners: 2


Who came for the UK premiere for the benefit of SolarAid? Everyone but Clive Owen. Heather Graham, Alan Cumming, Richard E. Grant, Eddie Redmayne, double Olympic gold medalist Kelly Holmes.


Four autographs
Cate Blanchett
was elegance personified. Director Shekhar Kapur (also of the first Elizabeth movie) did the rounds. Got Rhys Ifans' though I didn't know who he was at first. (Apparently most famous for being the guy in his underwear in Notting Hill.) And lastly, a man of his word, Geoffrey Rush, who was first on the red carpet and almost last to leave. He bypassed our area thrice, but kept his promise to return. Waiting an extra half-hour for a personalized signature and this photo was worth it.

  2. Geoffrey Rush is cute! But in a grandfatherly sort of way of course! Cate didn't take off her blazer thing?

    @jon: yez, lolo is the right term. cate took it off for the photogs, but since it was cold and she was going to be there for quite a while, she put the blazer back on.
