"The Kids Are All Right," produced in association with
Artist International and executive produced by
Steven Saxton, CEO of AI's parent company,
Hollywood Studios International (PINKSHEETS:
HYWS), had an exceptional evening as it took home two
Golden Globe Awards, including the top honor for
Best Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical on
Sunday night
. Annette
Bening, who was nominated alongside her co-star
Julianne Moore, took home the award for
Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture -
Comedy or Musical. "It was a tremendous night
for independent film and we are thrilled this terrific movie has
received the recognition we always felt it was worthy of," said
Saxton. Joel Newton, Artist International's Managing Director and a
Co-Producer on the project said: "We are incredibly excited for
everyone involved and hope these awards encourage more and more
people to see this special film."
Last night's awards come on the heels of a series of accolades
the film has been racking up lately. In December, "The Kids Are All
Right," released by Focus Features, picked up the most awards from
the New York Film Critics Circle with a total of three consisting
of best screenplay, Bening's lead performance and Mark Ruffalo's
supporting role. Prior to that, it took top honors at the Berlin
International Film Festival, and last month it was nominated for a
slew of Independent Spirit Awards. The picture received the second
most nominations, with a total of five, picking up nods for Best
Feature, Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Female lead for
Bening and Best Supporting Male for Ruffalo. Historically, the
Golden Globes are seen as a predictor of Oscar nominations. The
Oscar nominations will be announced January 25.
From the moment "The Kids Are All Right" ignited a bidding war
at last year's Sundance Film Festival, it has been one of the most
talked about and praised films of 2010. Dubbed "the breakout hit of
the summer," the comedy-drama about a lesbian couple whose world is
forever changed after their son and daughter bring their biological
sperm donor father into their life, grossed more than $20 million
in U.S. box office revenue. It garnered near unanimous praise from
critics and moviegoers alike, and with the recent release of the
DVD, continues to tug at the heart strings of an ever-growing
audience.
