Guests of the Golden Globe-2018 broke out in applause

At the price for the award was the actress Catherine Zeta-Jones, accompanied by her father-in-law Kirk Douglas, who turned 101 a month ago. The appearance of a living film legend at the ceremony was so unexpected that many guests could not say a word for a while. After Katherine stepped onto the stage, and Douglas was brought in a wheelchair, Zeta-Jones decided to say a few words about who will now present the award in one of the nominations. That's what the actress said:

"Probably, now there are no people in the hall who would not know this legendary person. Yes, yes, he can rightly be called a "legend". Those who are a bit familiar with the "golden era" cinema know that for the first time Kirk appeared on the television screen in 1946 year. On his account, a lot of awards and a huge number of brilliant roles in such bands: "Vikings", "Spartacus", "Paths of Glory", "Champion" and many others. In addition, Kirk had to go through not only the glory and happy moments in his life, but also persecution. Not everyone knows, but Douglas was persecuted. He was born in Mogilev province to a family of Jews and was forced to leave his homeland, moving to Amsterdam. In America because of this, too, not always everything went smoothly. Douglas, regardless of the consequences, always defended his colleagues who were subjected to racial discrimination. In the period of McCarthyism he defended his rights and the rights of his colleagues when one of them fell under persecution. "

After such a fiery speech, the audience began to get up from their seats and applaud. In response to such a reaction, Kirk also decided to say a few words:

"I also prepared a speech, but my beloved daughter-in-law overtook me. I have nothing more to add. It remains only to award the winner. "
