GARNER THRILLED TO BE CUT FROM GOLDEN GLOBES TELECAST
JENNIFER GARNER was thrilled to be cut out of the Golden Globe Awards telecast last Monday (15JAN07), because she feared she would fall onstage after a near-miss at the Academy Awards last year (06).
The former ALIAS star was scheduled to introduce a film clip in the best picture category, but was bumped when the show started to run late.
She explains, "I was supposed to present the clip for LITTLE CHILDREN, which is a beautiful movie and I was really excited to present the clip, except I slipped the last time I presented at the Oscars and almost fell on my tookus. I never get nervous doing stuff like that, but that kind of shook me a little bit. "Then I was a bridesmaid this summer at my friend’s wedding and I slipped going down the aisle in a big way. Then it started to be a psychosomatic thing.
"I was sure that I was going to slip, I was backstage,sweating, going over what I was supposed to say and I had taped my shoes onto my feet. "They (the producers) came running back and said, ‘We’ve run out of time! We’re running late, can we cut you? We’re so sorry! Are you upset?’ "I was like, ‘That’s great! That’s fine! Sorry Little Children, but I’m thrilled to not have to walk out there!’"
