Helen Mirren is featured in the April 2016 issue of the British Empire Magazine. They have an exclusive first look at “Eye in the Sky”, a very positive review on the film, as well as an in-depth interview with Helen, for which they write: “The characters Helen Mirren plays have one thing in common: you wouldn’t mess with them. No, sir. And her latest may be her most formidable yet.” Digital scans from my copy can be found in the photo gallery.

Yesterday, Helen Mirren took the stage in Hamburg, Germany, to accept the Lifetime Achievement Award of the Goldene Kamera, Germany’s biggest honor for film, television, music and culture. This appearance was a bit of a surprise since I didn’t know she was announced as a recipient, so even better to see so many new pictures. Plus, the complete segment of her honor (introduced by German “Trumbo” co-star Christian Berkel, who played Otto Preminger) can be watched in the video archive. The speech, which has been dubbed in German but is still possible to be heard, featured some wonderful remarks on being an emigrant herself and thanking her German dubbing voice for giving half her performance.
