SciFi Red Carpet: Edward James Olmos at the DGA Awards
Edward James Olmos seems to be everywhere this year, and he hit the red carpet again recently for the cocktail party celebrating the 61st Annual Director’s Guild Awards in Los Angeles. The DGA’s are part of the whirlwind of black tie events that make up the Hollywood awards season, all of which lead up to this month’s Academy Awards.
In the photo above Eddie is with actresses Amy Adams and Viola Davis. Adams has recently become a critics and awards darling, and is nominated for an Academy Award this year for Doubt. She was also a presenter at the DGA’s awards show that evening. Davis snagged one of the year’s most coveted roles when she was cast as the mother in Doubt, and is also nominated for an Academy Award for her role in the film.
Other stars attending the party included directors Ron Howard and Gus Van Sant, and actors Rachel Griffiths (Brothers and Sisters), Sean Penn, Marisa Tomei, Virginia Madsen, Josh Brolin, Lisa Edelstein (House), critic Roger Ebert, and a plethora of this year’s Academy Awards nominees such as actors Richard Jenkins and Frank Langella.
Eddie was nominated for a DGA Award in 2007, for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Movies for Television for the movie Walkout. This year also marks the twentieth anniversary of his Academy Award nomination, as he was nominated for Best Actor in 1989 for Stand and Deliver.
