Golden Globes (2017)

January 8, 2017:

Tom Hiddleston attended the 74th Annual Golden Globe Awards at the Beverly Hills Hilton. The Night Manager had a total of four nominations: Best Actor in a Limited Series, Miniseries or Film Made for Television (Tom Hiddleston), Best Supporting Actor in a Limited Series, Miniseries or Film Made for Television (Hugh Laurie), Best Supporting Actress in a Limited Series, Miniseries or Film Made for Televsion (Olivia Colman), and Best Limited Series or Film Made for Television (The Night Manager). 

The night got off to a fun start when Nicole Kidman crashed Tom's red carpet interview. She made sure to let us know what Tom was wearing - I guess I can retire now. 

Tom Hiddleston received some criticism for his speech and went so far as to post an apology on his Facebook. I think we can all relate to being nervous and your words not coming out exactly as you intended too but... a lot of people were motivated by his speech. We were hosting a fundraiser for Unicef UK in honor of Tom's birthday.  During his winner's interview, Variety's Jenelle Riley mentioned to Tom that she owed him $20 and that she was going to donate it to Unicef. Prior to the event Jenelle told me about the bet with Tom and we agreed that we would each donate $20 to the Unicef UK fundraiser. And we did! You can say that Tom himself has indirectly donated to our fundraiser! I don't know if it was his speech, or Jenelle Riley, or a combination of both but we received more than £1,000 in new donations in the 24 hours after Tom Hiddleston won - and closed out that year's fundraiser a month later with more than £14,000! We are hosting another Unicef UK fundraiser this year if anyone is interested in donating - we also have fun prizes you can win!
