Helen Mirren has attended the Screen Actors Guild Awards yesterday as a triple nominee for Best Supporting Actress and Ensemble for “Trumbo” and Lead Actress for “Woman in Gold”. The trophies went to Alicia Vikander, Spotlight and Brie Larson. Still, what a great honor for last year’s work to be mentioned three times. Helen took the stage anyway, alongside Bryan Cranston and Diane Lane, to introduce the segment for “Trumbo”. Pictures from the red carpet and the show have been added to the photo gallery, with more to come. Edit: Hundreds of additional pictures plus two video clips from the ceremony and the arrivals have been added. Scroll down for a complete list.

It seems like Helen Mirren has never been busier than this year. The last week alone has included the last part of “Trumbo”‘s promotional tour in the United States with a visit at Good Morning America and a special conversation at Times Talks. There has also been the Gothan Independent Film Award and a cocktail reception for “Woman in Gold” in New York by the Weinstein Company, who is campaigning Helen for Best Actress. All pictures can be launched by clicking the previews below.

Another decade has been added to the public appearances, covering 1980 to 1989. Lots of great images to be discovered. In the 1980s, Helen was still mostly known for her theatre work, a four-year relationship with Liam Neeson and a first try to make it in Hollywood (to lesser success than her British theatre work, except for meeting future husband Taylor Hackford). Have a look at Helen throughout the years by clicking any of the previews below. The next update will cover both the 1970s and 1960s and will complete the public appearances albums.

Today, public appearances pictures from 1990 to 1999 have been added to the photo gallery. It’ll be difficult to put this decade in only a few sentences – Helen had her breakthrough with “Prime Suspect”, for which she received 3 consecutive BAFTA Awards and an Emmy, her first Oscar nomination for “The Madness of King George”, Tony nomination for “A Month in the Country”, a Golden Globe for “Losing Chase” and another Emmy for “The Passion of Ayn Rand”. To launch all new galleries, click any of the previews below. The 1980s will follow next, as I’m eager to finish the public appearances and start with the articles and scans (the last remaining part of the photo gallery to be added). Enjoy the new pictures.
