In the short-term future Mirren will probably be attending lots of awards ceremonies. Does she fantasize about winning? “Fantasize is not quite the right word,” she says dryly. “I’ve not won different awards, many many times—so luckily I’ve practiced that. Whenever you are nominated for anything, you enter into this marvelous, fantabulous bubble called the bubble of nomination. The minute the envelope is opened and your name isn’t called out, the bubble bursts.

It should be noted that Mirren and Whitaker won the top acting prizes specifically in the dramatic categories. There are ... "musical or comedy" acting awards at the Golden Globes. Meryl Streep, who is always fun at these events, won best actress in a musical or comedy for her performance as the evil boss in "The Devil Wears Prada." She thanked her co-stars, who she said "had the difficult, difficult job of making me seem monstrous."
