It was an eerie feeling as I sat at in the lobby of the Hilton Hotel at 3:15 with a few other media people. The quietness was surreal. But once the 4:00am check in time came rolling around, the lobby became a frenzy of excite as we all waited to be cleared through security.
Once in, we took our spots then were treated to a buffet breakfast of croissant sandwich, egg muffin and various baked goods. I opted for the croissant. I met new and old press contacts and was ready to see the nomination presenters.
Before going live for the morning shows in New York, HFPA President Jorge Camara introduced the nomination presenters consisting of Brooke Shields, Rainn Wilson, Elizabeth Banks and Terrence Howard. Once the group announced various nominees before the live feed, we took our spots to capture the essence of the presenters that morning.
Jorge Camara
It was bit interesting to see that Brooke, Terrence and Rainn towered over Elizabeth Banks. How cute to see that Banks seemed more adorable standing next to the other three.
The biggest laugh of the morning was when James Franco was nominated for his role in "Pineapple Express." However, others moaned afterwards as why not nominated for his role in "Milk."
As this was my first time covering the Globe nomination, I was surprised as how fast the event went. At 5:30am, the noms was beamed live to the East Coast, then within ten minutes it was over. For us photogs, work had just begun as we rushed back to our office/homes or where ever we could edit our photos then post our respective agency site.
Lacking the sleep I thought I had, was a bit overbearing as I finished my editing by 7am.
But my day was not over as I still had to catch up on other premiere photo coverage I did with the last two days from "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," "Gran Torino" and having to stay at work to do other wire service duties.
My day didn't end there as I had to cover Jennifer Aniston's new film, "Marley & Me" that night.
On top of that, I had a migraine to deal with. So unfortunately, no yelling at Aniston to do an "Over The Shoulder" pose.
Enough about my ranting. Below is the Globe Nominations:
