...muckraking for hagiography. The Ambani estate is protective of its founder's legacy, but at least two members of the family gave their blessing to Guru's stars: Dhirubahi's son Anil Ambani, chairman of Reliance Capital, attended the Ash-Abhishek engagement party with his wife, the former Bollywood actress Tina Munim...
...Actually, last night they should have murmured a respectful "Cor blimey," since fully half of the acting prizes went to subjects of Her Royal Majesty. As one of the Brits said of Mirren and Judi Dench, her competition in the Best Actress category, "There are a lot of Dames out there." Mirren snagged two of the awards, for impersonating Elizabeth I (in Elizabeth I) on the small screen and her namesake (in The Queen) on the big one.

Sunshine's cast went home trophy-less so the only thing that survived on Breslin's arm was a stuffed monkey. "This is George," the actress said, introducing her plush date. Plenty of stars with whinier companions no doubt envied Breslin's choice...
