Golden Globes 2013: Hugh Jackman, Daniel Day-Lewis win actor honors (LA TIMES)
By John Horn
January 13, 2013, 8:05 p.m.
In an evening with some mild surprises, two favorites won the top actor honors at the Golden Globes: Daniel Day-Lewis for "Lincoln" and Hugh Jackman for "Les Miserables."
For playing the 16th president of the United States, Day-Lewis won for best actor in a drama. Clips from the movie were introduced earlier by former President Bill Clinton. "Are you sure there's room for another ex-president on this stage?" the actor said in accepting the prize from the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn.
Jackman won for best actor in a musical or comedy for starring as the prisoner turned humanitarian Jean Valjean in "Les Miserables." He thanked director Tom Hooper, adding that he nearly pulled out of the project.
"I never told you this," Jackman told Hooper from the stage, "but three weeks in, we had a terrible rehearsal, and I was going to call you and tell you someone else had to play this role. My wife talked me out of it."

Baftas: Lincoln leads but Spielberg snubbed (BBC NEWS)
US civil war drama, Lincoln has led this year's Baftas with 10 nominations including best film and best actor for Daniel Day-Lewis.
Day-Lewis's co-stars Tommy Lee Jones and Sally Field have been shortlisted for best supporting actor and actress.
However, the film's award-winning director Steven Spielberg missed out in the best director category.
Musical adaptation Les Miserables and Ang Lee's Life of Pi have both received nine nominations.
Speaking to the BBC's Lizo Mzimba at the announcement, film critic Mark Kermode said: "As far as Lincoln was concerned, all the attention was on Daniel Day-Lewis.
"Whatever anybody thinks about the film - and the critics have been somewhat divided, everybody thought his performance was captivating and completely believable."
Best of British
Following closely behind the leaders pack was Bond film Skyfall with eight nominations, including best British film and best supporting actor and actress for Javier Bardem and Judi Dench.
It will battle it out with four other titles to be named outstanding British film at the awards ceremony on 10 February.
They were The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, Anna Karenina, Les Miserables, and Seven Psychopaths.
The nominations were announced by Alice Eve and Jeremy Irvine at the The British Academy of Film and Television Arts headquarters in London on Wednesday.
Anne Hathaway and Hugh Jackman have been recognized in the lead actor and supporting actress categories in Tom Hooper's big-screen adaptation of Les Miserables.

Tom Ford reveals his film A Single Man was based on his own family By Liz Hoggard (YAHOO)
American fashion designer-turned-film director Tom Ford has revealed that his 2009 Oscar nominated movie, 'A Single Man', which starred Colin Firth and Julianne Moore, was partly autobiographical.
In an interview with the 'Times' newspaper, he explained that the script of the film, inspired by a Christopher Isherwood short story about a fastidious, suicidal academic, was deeply resonant to his own life.
"There were scenes right out of our lives: my sister, my mother, the emotions," he said. "The way I was feeling at the time. I didn't know if I cared if I lived or died. Where is the beauty of the world? Discovering the beauty of the world, having an epiphany. I've had those moments where time stands still and I think: 'It's OK'."

Eddie Redmayne so happy about $100m Miserables
By BAZ BAMIGBOYE
The cast includes Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway, Russell Crowe, Samantha Barks and Eddie Redmayne — who has become a big screen heart-throb thanks to his performance.
Redmayne told me recently that the film was tricky, from an actor’s point of view, because of its blend of theatricality and realism.
One particularly troublesome scene involved his lovestruck character, Marius, singing A Heart Full Of Love.
‘In the script, Marius goes: “In my life, she has burst like the music of angels! The light of the sun!!”,’ he told me.
‘It’s so florid and metaphorical — beautiful, but very difficult to make that sound spontaneous.
‘And I remember trying, and it wasn’t working, and Tom said: “For all this grisly realism that we’re doing, this is an old-school, West Side Story, movie musical moment. And in order to make it work, you have to run down the street, swinging from lampposts, singing till your heart’s content.” ’
With that in mind, Redmayne nailed it, and the resulting scene is full of yearning.
Several of the actors playing students at the barricade had come from the stage show and a few had played Marius.
Redmayne asked them how they had handled certain scenes, and one of them said he’d imagined Marius as a bit of a dreamer, who probably wrote poetry.
