Did you watch George Clooneys powerful speech at the Golden Globes last night? thedailybeast/articles/2015/01/11/george-clooney-s-powerful-golden-globes-speech-on-his-love-for-amal-and-je-suis-charlie.html George Clooney’s Powerful Golden Globes Speech on His Love For Amal and Je Suis Charlie 2015 edition of the Golden Globes featured plenty of laughs, but also a beautiful lifetime achievement award speech by the one and only George Clooney. It started off with a joke, and ended with a rousing standing ovation. During a cheeky monologue at the 72nd Annual Golden Globe Awards, co-host Tina Fey took aim at George Clooney, who was accompanied by his recent bride, Amal. “George Clooney married Amal Alamuddin this year,” said Fey. “Amal is a human-rights lawyer who worked on the Enron case, was an adviser to Kofi Annan regarding Syria, and was selected for a three-person UN commission investigating rules of war violations in the Gaza Strip.” She paused. “So, of course, her husband is getting a lifetime achievement award.” “They marched in support of the idea that we will not walk in fear. We won’t do it. So, Je Suis Charlie.” But it was later in the evening when the 53-year-old Clooney, who was there to accept the Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement, stunned the crowded, boozed-up room into silence. Clooney, sporting a “Je Suis Charlie” button on his tux in solidarity with the slain free-speech crusaders at Charlie Hebdo—his father is a former news anchor, and Clooney directed the Edward R. Murrow flick Good Night, and Good Luck—began with a joke about the Sony hack. “It’s always fun to come here and catch up with old friends and, now that we’ve seen that everyone’s been hacked, it’s also a good chance for us to meet face-toface and apologize for all the snarky things we’ve said about each other,” he joked.
