So what exactly was the deal, in announcing the Golden Globe nominees for Best Foreign Language Film, with sticking the somewhat rather thickly accented Djimon Hounsou with the directors of Volver, Pan’s Labyrinth and The Lives of Others — meaning he had to pronounce, in quick succession, the names of Pedro Almodovar, Guillermo del Toro and Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck — while co-presenter Sharon Stone got to namecheck… Clint Eastwood and Mel Gibson. Was that a desire to get everyone to lean forward in their seats, or a reflection of someone’s consideration that perhaps Hounsou would be more sober than Stone?
