The Jaguar Britannia Awards , taking place November 9 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, celebrates the achievements of those who have made an outstanding contribution to excellence in the international entertainment industry. Honors are given for excellence in film, directing and comedy, as well as for worldwide contribution to entertainment and for use of the moving image for humanitarian causes.

The 2013 Jaguar Britannia Awards will be hosted by award winning actor and comedian, Rob Brydon. BAFTA LA will honor Sir Ben Kingsley with the "Albert R.

Don't get me wrong but many times you girls proven to be the ones caring about his private life more than his work not others, and it's annoying really to have every topic taken to his private issues..

I'm not sure what you mean as I love George the complete person whatever that be. He is an extremely talented film maker but there is so much more that makes the person than just his talents. If he stopped being a film maker tomorrow I would still love the person. He is very intelligent, humble, kind hearted and in my opinion one of the most dedicate humanitarians around. All these things plus so much more is what makes him even better at his craft. I don't see how you can dissect and separate these qualities from his career. So he will always have my love and respect no matter what stage of his life he is in at any given time. So yes I am interested in his private life and take a great interest in his humanitarian efforts.

by Rachel Tue 05 Nov 2013, 16:30

I believe George manages to keep the things which are important for him to be kept private, private. I agree with Mazy, he is our George, the complete person. That's why we are on this forum and we just want to see him happy. Happy with his great work, happy as a great humanitarian and hopeful happy in his private life. I'm sure everyone on here (I hope so) respects George and we don't judge him, just sometimes have our opinions on what's going on around him.
I believe he doesn't care about the tabloids except when it gets to much - like his latest denial - seems that "MJ crap" quoting George or Stan - must have really annoyed him. Bricks

sometimes its too much even for a gentleman like George. (sorry, think boshkash should have made a new thread for this - wrong thread)

by Nicky80 Tue 05 Nov 2013, 18:11

I agree with Mazy too. I think we all like George the filmaker and George the private person. It makes the person complete and it is hard to seperate that.
And I like to read or discuss things about his private life as others myabe have a different view then I have and gives me sometimes a better picture about him. Of course as long it stays on the topic. Sorry for being off topic. Embarassed

But one more thing, I think if we have threads about his work like MM were we mostly stay on topic and post mainly about his work. and if we get distracted the moderators in this forum remind us Very Happy

So I don't think it is that bad but this is just how I think.

by Boshkash Tue 05 Nov 2013, 20:51

oh I meant this :
"But one more thing, I think if we have threads about his work like MM were we mostly stay on topic and post mainly about his work. and if we get distracted the moderators in this forum remind us Very Happy So I don't think it is that bad but this is just how I think."

sorry for the misunderstanding.

by theminis Tue 05 Nov 2013, 21:30

Boshkash and all - yes we do get distracted on some threads, I myself guilty of that too. I also get frustrated to see almost every thread regardless of topic somehow wind its way back to Georges love life, or the women in his life - frustrated because we have a million threads on that topic alone.

So yes please everyone note that if one of us Mods (or Katie) reminds you to stay on topic we are not being rude merely trying to keep the topic coherent and relevant.

Thanks

Boo! At the Bev Hilton and I'll be miles and miles away in Orange county!!

Oh well, Bev Hilton is one of the worst places to try to see stars - I think they actually get out of their cars inside the driveway so you can't see much of anything. If I remember correctly.

Damn you Lorna! You were our only hope! See how you are!!?? hahahaha

by LornaDoone Fri 08 Nov 2013, 03:46

Well I plan to be at Monuments Men IF they have an LA premiere. They might not though. Sometimes they do them in NYC.

Man that Cohen doesn't belong there at all!! I am ashamed for him..

Former career credential: event manager. Very happy to alter the place settings!

I see from someone's twitter that Julia Roberts is one of the presenters......just to cross different threads for a mo, I think the rollout of different actors for August O C is a)clever and subtle, but b) may be absolutely necessary given all the many diaries involved!

Great photos on the red carpet.

I think he looks great.
Exquisite tuxedo!! Wink

Very suave, poised & charming.
Seasoned finesse.

Hope he enjoys the occasion, ....and then has a few days to relax a little more.
