Helen Mirren wins Best Actress at Tony Awards
  June 8th, 2015       Posted by Frederik       Display Comments

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 Leisure Seeker” Blu-Ray screencaptures

“The Leisure Seeker” has been released on Blu-Ray earlier this month in Germany and various European countries. I’d recommend it to everyone who enjoys seeing two acting greats – or a film that takes its time to tell a story. While it was running a bit long with 2 hours and its pace is off-putting […]
