Clint Eastwood is on stage right now: Add another award to his very crowded shelf. He is still up for best director for this film AND "Flags of Our Fathers." For a man in his mid-70s, for a man of any age, I find Eastwood's continued creativity and productivity inspiring. In the last five years he has brought us "Flags," "Iwo Jima," "Mystic River" AND "Million Dollar Baby."
"I've been trying to take a vacation," Eastwood said backstage.

Warren Beatty is being honored with the Cecil B. DeMille award for life achievement. Since, unlike Eastwood, he rarely makes movies these days, it is astonishing to realize all that he has done as an actor, director, writer and producer: "Reds," "Bugsy," "Heaven Can Wait," "Shampoo." "Bonnie and Clyde," "McCabe and Mrs. Miller," "Dick Tracy," "Bullworth" and "Splendor in the Grass." My favorite of all is "Reds" in which he and Diane Keaton were at their best. We'll forgive him "Ishatar and "Love Affair."
"The truth is I haven't made a lot of movies. Someone once said of me that every single movie is a comeback. This is enough to make you want to go out and make another movie," Beatty said as he accepted his award.

"Of course I'm going to makie another movie," said the actor who won his first Golden Globe in 1962 when he was named most promsing newcomer.
But when he finally makes another movie, he wants to be the first person in the history of movies to win promising newcomer twice.
Yuk yuk.
