...This must be quite the roller coaster for you - I've spoken to a few critics who didn't know your name when they walked into An Education but walked out predicting that you'd be the front runner for Best Actress It's odd, actually, because going into the Golden Globes, it was a year to the day to the hour from when the film had premiered at Sundance. So it's been around for such a long time that it's hard to really process. I read for the film in late 2006, and it was the third...

Yes, there were a few exotic ones, like Michael Symon's pastrami-topped Fat Doug burger, which won the People's Choice award, the night's biggest honor. Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto won critical raves for a Kakuni burger topped with Japanese pork belly and served with a house-made pickle so good, it could put Ba-Tampte out of business.
