Filipino-Americans make their presence felt at Golden Globe Awards
Los Angeles (Philippine Daily Inquirer/ANN) - Filipino-American designers made their presence felt at Sunday's Golden Globe Awards.
Catherine Zeta-Jones and Mandy Moore wore gowns by acclaimed Filipino-American designer Monique Lhuillier while "Glee" actress Amber Riley wore a sparkling silver outfit by Oliver Tolentino.
Another Fil-Am designer, Alan del Rosario, dressed up former Miss Universe-turned-journalist Margaret Gardiner.
Actor Harry Shum Jr. said that his "Glee" co-star Mark Salling enjoyed his Christmas vacation in Boracay island in eastern Philippines. Salling went to the Philippines with his roommates.
Filipino-American Darren Criss said he also had fun in his recent trip to Manila.
Another "Glee" star, Kevin McHale, said Charice Pempengco would definitely be back toward the end of the season.
Most surreal pair
In the madness of the star-studded awards night at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, the most surreal pairing was Angelina Jolie and Justin Bieber.
Near the end of the red carpet festivities, Jolie got separated from partner Brad Pitt in the crush of media and guests. Someone clamored to interview the popular actress and the teen pop star.
Jolie obliged. But first, Bieber put on purple glasses.
Filipino blood
Green, nude and red were the predominant colors of the women's gowns.
Among the earliest to have dinner at the International Ballroom were Hailee Steinfeld, who earned raves for her major film debut in "True Grit", and her part-Filipino mother, Cheri Steinfeld.
The proud mother, whose father is Filipino, said that she went to the Philippines several times when she worked as a stewardess.
Host Ricky Gervais dished out jokes about some of the stars present. At his rehearsals the day before, Gervais made a visual gag to go with a Hugh Hefner joke, which he promised he wouldn't do during the show.
Of course, he went on with the antic before the celebrity-filled audience in the ballroom.
