According to The Hollywood Reporter, Emma Thompson gave a hilariously apologetic speech at the British Independent Film Awards yesterday when she received the Richard Harris award for outstanding contribution to British film. In addition to being honored for her independent movie roles, "I have also taken small roles in large studio films that could be described as formulaic for money. And for that I'm sorry."
She could have saved time and simply said, "I'm Emma Thompson. I'm f---ing fabulous. Sorry not sorry," and walked from the stage after dropping her mic. Congrats to Emma on her well-deserved award!
she is not sorry when she is cashing them cheques--but I am sure she was joking.
ReplyDeleteOT---I just read that lindsay and ali lohan are recording an album with Duran Duran ? lolll okayyyyyy......
Oh I hope not. Has Duran Duran stooped that low?
DeleteHey pal. How's things?
Deletehey lady---I am well. Are you enjoying quality time with your man? Or is it time to send him back on the road haha
DeleteNah, he's home for a bit now. Tough week for him with his dad's first anniversary. I've been giving him lots of tlc and also lots of space.
DeletePlenty of Christmas shows here in the next few weeks to keep him busy... and out of my hair! Hahaha! He is always home for Christmas.
How's things in your neck of the woods? Happy and healthy, I hope.
all is well here----very cold and am a little sick of Christmas stuff but that is called December I suppose
DeleteYep, dark and cold here too. Short days that seem to go on forever. Still though, Winter Solstice soon and then the days get longer, so that's something to look forward to.
Deletetrue true---the dark sky 24/7 can be so depressing! Thank god for booze haha

And dont even mention the tree! Oy!! Right now he got distracted with catalog of mens work clothes, so im safe for a few minutes, lol. The next question will be what do i want for lunch and then i will scream, lol
DeleteOh, I know only too well Liddy. My man does lighting for a living, but yet every year it's me who does all the Christmas stuff. His excuse is that I can't afford his rates, but my reply is that I prefer them done well.
DeleteOh the slaggings we give each other.
Love love love Nanny McPhee!
ReplyDeleteHey Seventy Leven. How are ya?
DeleteHello, Ms IJU! I am well, thank you! Tell your man if you can't afford his rates, then flash him and say, "Well then, I guess you can't afford mine!" :b
DeleteOh, he knows only too well Seven. :-D
DeleteI love Emma too. She's a classy lady who's held her head high. I suspect she'll be a dame someday as well.
ReplyDeleteLet's not forget that HBC is rumored to be the demise of her and Kenneth Branagh.
Hey Sherry Baby!!
DeleteHowdy IJU. Nice salutations to everyone here.
DeleteI'd love to have a few drinks with her.
ReplyDeleteYou know she's got some great stories too. You also know she's too cool to ever write a tacky tell all book either.
ReplyDeleteLove Emma, but if it weren't for the big budget gigs a lot of people wouldn't know who you were and find your indie films. Don't go snobby..pretty sure there are as many crappy Indies as studio movies.
