The Dardenne Brothers have their 1st US award nomination w/ The Kid with A Bike #hfpaA SEPARATION (Iran's entry) director Asghar Farhadi gets major applause! A clear audience favorite.

Almodovar: Its new for me to make something in horror genre. Its wonderful to me that one can say I've done something new. #GoldenGlobe

Angelina to Pedro; "Are you going to give me a job. I mean its been 31 years (you've been making movies) and not one offer." #GoldenGlobes

"@LAeditor: You know you are at the #Cinematheque when #Almodovar gets bigger applause than even Angelina Jolie!"#GoldenGlobes

Almodovar: I'm a frustrated costume designer, I'm a frustrated painter, I'm a frustrated writer... All these things are good for a director.

When I was watching movies in the dark post-war period of the 50s and 60s it was the representation of reality that got us thru, not reality

Dardenne Bros by contrast start with reality. The kid with a Bike was a story that happened in a tokyo suburb. We create our own fable.

Dardenne; in the real story the boy in the orphanage gets out and commits a murder. We thought how can this boy's fate chsnge directions.

We can't do anything on our own says luc Dardenne of his film directing relationship with his brother. #GoldenGlobesDarenne: we purposely didn't want 2 assign psychological reasons to the woman (a stranger) who ends up helping the troubled boy #kidwithbike

What we wanted to say with our film is "Love is stronger than death (sometimes) say the Dardennes about #TheKidwithaBike #GoldenGlobes
The actors from Angelina Jolie's Bosnian film In the Land of Blood and Honey are introduced in the audience. #GoldenGlobes
Our cast was all born Yugoslovian & the war divided them and pushed them to focus on their differences, says Angelina Jolie #GoldenGlobes

I never set out to be a filmmaker says Angelina Jolie, but she wanted to share what she had learned about the region and wanted to share it

"What happens to them is symbolic of what happened to their country," says Jolie of her couple torn apart by the Balkan war. #GoldenGlobes

With the right intentions it will come across says Jolie. Her film has opened in Bosnia. We want people to finally cry about it & not forget

The style was dictated by the war. We didn't have power so we used the light coming in. People said "oh the light is beautiful like Vermeer.

Will Angelina Jolie direct again? It was the subject that made her make the film. Easier to be an actor. Have to care deeply for the subject
Asghar Farhadi: I didn't make this movie so foreign audiences would learn more about Iran. Google is much better for that. #ASeparation

Farhadi: People everywhere have similarities. They have the same problems. Its politics that make us disimilar. #ASeparation #hfpa

Farhadi from Iran doesn't want to get sympathy for having to make movies in difficult circumstances. #GoldenGlobes

The Dardennes have no plans to make movies outside their hometown which had a working class culture w/ solidarity when they grew up there.

We try to repopulate the town with our characters say the Dardennes of the city that lost many people. Their films might support the region?

The prod system here doesn't fit me says Pedro and I am 2 old 2 learn. I'd like 2 do it @ least once in my life. I like to taste everything Angelina Jolie focused on the intention of the actors while shooting in a language she didn't speak. It was shot in both English as well.

On Antonio Banderas - the biggest natural born talent I ever met says Almodovar of the actor he discovered in 1981 for Laws of Desire.

Almodovar says Banderas has no issue with his sexuality. This is a problem with some actors.. I felt very proud of him but I really miss him
The director's daughter is the daughter in the film. The actor who plays her father told him something 2day about her today he didn't know!To see a young actor in front the camera for the first time is an extraordinary thing says Luc Dardenne. #TheKidwithaBike #GoldenGlobes

The Dardennes rehearse 40 days w/ the actors starting w/ physical action. They wanted Cecile de France to literally fall into their universe

Farhadi says he made the actress who plays the religiouswoman in the film pray 5x/day, take the bus, arrive in veil, not get near men onset Why with all her work around the world did she decide 2 make a film in Bosnia; I was ashamed at how little I knew, but its a universal story

Angelina Jolie feels that in the Bosnian region the artists there have such a passion and openess and are survivors. She has special fondnesPedro Almodovar recommends seeing movies on a big screen as he sits under the Egyptians' Giant Screen right now! Couldn't agree more!
For Farhadi the most important thing about making films is 2 keep his childhood with him. Feels like a child when he is onset. #ASeparation
