air and time and space and light

Last night we went to the 21th European films awards’ ceremony. It was a cool event. I saw the Statesminister of Denmark, plus lots of Danish/European movie starts. I did not many of those celebrities but it was more meaningful after they presented/received awards.

The host of the night Michael Bertelsen was funny in a away but his self sarcastic jokes seemed too Danish. Morten said he was a very well known and liked TV talk show man in Denmark. Wish he did not have to present the event in English. I was also suprised that most of the people who have received these awards could not deliver a speech in English. How come that all these people has problems with English? Something I am so comfortable with, even take granted for, caused lots of stress to many people yesterday.

There were some moments where the presenters seemed very amateurish. It was far away from being Oscars, or Emmy awards night. Americans are really comfortable on stage, and they like/know how to entertain themselves/others. European culture proved to be very stiff after all.

There wee very good and interesting movies last night. Gomorra, Il Divo, Hunger are some of the movies that I would like to find/watch asap.

Walking on the Red Carpet, dressing nice, seeing movie celebrities, watching those movie trailers before awards were given, the atmosphere, people around us, enjoyind red wine, the ambiance there again and again, seeing Nikolaj Lee and Mads Mikkelsen, asking them for photos, their warm and modest approach, it was all in all a magical night. Morten and I really thought it was worth the money (1500DKK, after special discount from Lifein.dk) and we enjoyed ourselves. It was like for 7 hours (including the party) we felt ourselves in a different world where movie producers, actors, directors, audience were altogether having fun. Stepping off the red carpet and getting on metro felt weird, as if I also was now a celebrity lol

Walking on the red carpet was really exciting, when we were walking the photographers were looking around to see some celebrity faces, but who cares, I had my moment too.

Like Anilao, holding Morten’s hand and looking at the beautiful sea creatures with our snorkels, that moment, I also add the moment on the red carpet walking hand in hand in the same category. I can’t imagine how great it must be for those who really draw attention, it must be high adrenalin and ego.

The only bad thing about last night is thatI could not see Lars von Trier. I was looking forward to meeting him too.

I love movies and I love last night..

It was simply put, a beautiful evening with all the great ambiance..
