Today Justin Timberlake was accompanied by actors John Krasinks and Diane Kruger and Hollywood Foreign Press Association president Philip Berk to announce the nominees for the 67th Golden Globe Awards.
The ceremony was held at the Beverly Hilton hotel in Los Angeles, and according to reports he once again stole the show thanks to his priceless sense of humor:
People.com reports:
There are presenters – those who simply read the material – and there are performers – those who add their own personal flourishes to delivering the list of Golden Globe nominees, as Justin Timberlake so ably proved Tuesday morning.
Sliding some of his own observations into his announcements, the musician, 28, said while naming those who received nods in the music categories: “Paul McCartney – you may have heard of him,” and “Bono – You may have heard of him, as well.”
He also managed a quick little sound effect before announcing the major motion picture drama nominees. Said Timberlake, “Impromptu drumroll.”
As those who watched the nominations on TV were able to witness, when Timberlake read out the name of nominee Emily Bluntfor her role in The Young Victoria, he quickly cast a glance at fellow presenter John Krasinki (who is Blunt’s fiancé) and quipped, “Ho, ho, ho! Somebody’s going to have a good night tonight.”
When asked, if there is a particular artist he would like to win, Justin said he was happy to see his Open Road co-star Jeff Bridges landing a nomination:
Afterwards, when asked if there had been anyone in particular he was rooting for, Timberlake said, “I’m such a Jeff Bridges fan, so it was great to see him get a nomination [for dramatic leading actor inCrazy Heart]. And – I don’t know. I have to catch up on some movie-watching as well.”
He later said, “I have not gotten to see Precious yet, but I’m very excited about it. A good friend of mine, Mr. Jamie Foxx, told me it was fantastic, so I will be getting to the theater to see it.”
As for attending the actual show, Justin says he will have to check his agenda for January and February. He also says that he is usually a very busy person but that one of his resolutions for the New Year is to take things easier:
“I’m not sure,” he said. “I have to get through New Year’s, and I don’t know my schedule for January and February yet, so …” It was pointed out that he’s a busy person, prompting Timberlake to respond, “I am a busy person, yes.”
Too busy to make any New Year’s resolutions?
“It’s not so much a resolution as a realization,” he said. “In 2010 I’m going to try to put as little responsibility on myself as possible. How’s that? I’m going to under-promise myself in 2010, so if it goes well, I’ll think, ‘Oh, my God!’ ”
