The promotion tour for “Woman in Gold” continues with a trip to Tokyo, Japan. On October 22, Helen has attended the festival’s opening ceremony, as well as today’s screening of the film. Pictures from both events have been added to the photo gallery.

On Wednesday, “Trumbo” received a gala screening at the BFI London Film Festival. Bryan Cranston, John Goodman and Helen Mirren were in attendance to promote the film. Pictures from the photocall, press conference and premiere have been added to the photo gallery.

It has taken a while for “Woman in Gold” to premiere in Italy, but Helen – alongside director Simon Curtis and his wife/co-star/Countess of Grantham Elizabeth McGovern have attended a promotional photocall and premiere for the October 15 release. Pictures from both functions have been added to the photo gallery.

Yesterday, Helen Mirren attended the Toronto International Film Festival for the world-premiere of Gavin Hood’s “Eye in the Sky”. The film opened to fantastic reviews, which makes on hope for a theatrical release soon. Pictures from the premiere and a photoshoot have been added to the photo gallery. Edit: Pictures from the “Trumbo” premiere have been added as well.

Here are two things Hollywood really likes: movies about charismatic individuals triumphing over political oppression, and movies about Hollywood. Luckily, Bryan Cranston’s new film, Trumbo, is about both: Cranston plays screenwriter Dalton Trumbo, who was blacklisted by the industry in 1947 after refusing to testify before the House Un-American Activities Committee. Trumbo was perhaps the most successful of the “Hollywood Ten”; he wrote under pseudonyms throughout the ’50s, and even won Oscars for his work on The Brave One and Roman Holiday. Cranston, deploying the full range of that booming, stentorian voice, looks pretty crackerjack in the role, and he’s accompanied by a murderer’s row of talent: Helen Mirren, Diane Lane, John Goodman, and Louis C.K. all have supporting parts. Trumbo is out in November.

Both “Trumbo” and “Eye in the Sky”, Helen’s upcoming films for the end of the year, will have their world premieres at the Toronto International Film Festival. In “Trumbo”, Bryan Cranston stars as blacklisted screenwriter Dalton Trumbo, whosecontroversy entangled most everyone in showbiz, from red-baiting gossip columnist Hedda Hopper (Mirren) and John Wayne to Kirk Douglas and Otto Preminger. In “Eye in the Sky”, Mirren stars alongside Aaron Paul, Alan Rickman and Iain Glen in a timely thriller about a terrorist-targeting drone mission that becomes a flashpoint when a civilian girl enters the kill zone. Premiere dates for both films will be announced closer to the festival’s opening.

Congratulations to Helen Mirren for winning the Tony Award as Best Actress in a Play for “The Audience”. This is the icing on the cake of an already astonishing season. Helen now joins the ranks of a selected group of actors to have won an Oscar, an Emmy and a Tony. Now, to become an EGOT, only a Grammy is missing – so, fingers crossed for an “Audience” audiobook 🙂 Pictures from the arrivals, show and press room have been added to the photo gallery, with many thanks to Claudia for some great contributions. A segment of her acceptance speech has been added to the video archive.

The 69th Annual Tony Awards are taking place tonight. Helen Mirren is nominated as Best Actress in a Play for “The Audience”, and many outlets are predicting her to win. As Vulture writes, “Who will deny the Queen of England a Tony Award to go with her Oscar?” A Tony win would mean a triple crown for Mirren, joining the ranks of actors who have won an Oscar, a Tony and an Emmy. In anticipation of tonight’s ceremony, clips of Helen’s previous Tony appearances – including nominations for 1995’s A Month in the Country and for 2001’s Dance of Death – have been added to the video archive. Look at the coincidence at the 2002 awards ceremony with the award being presented by Helen’s former partner, Liam Neeson and his wife, the late Natasha Richardson, who also happened to be Helen’s co-star in “The Comfort of Strangers”.
