Here are some photos of Ryan Reynolds and Helen Mirren at the Berlin Film Festival premiere of their new film, Woman In Gold. I keep seeing the trailer for this film, and I enjoyed it the first few times. Let’s face it, Helen Mirren is amazing. Even if this is a sappy, tailored-for-an-Oscar-campaign performance from Helen, I’m still going to see it. It’s the true story of one woman’s fight to reclaim one of the most famous paintings in the world after the Nazis stole it. Here’s the trailer:

It looks Oscar-baity, right? It comes out in April, which is not really a hotbed of potential Oscar-worthy films, but hey, Cate Blanchett won an Oscar for a film released in the summer.

As for these photos, look at Helen! She looks spectacular, doesn’t she? I’m not even crazy about her spring-green Dolce & Gabbana dress, but I give her an A for effort. She really stood out, and she’s the one who looks like a huge movie star.

Speaking of, Helen was hired a few months ago to be the newest face of L’Oréal Paris Age-Defying face cream. The ad is pretty spectacular. It’s SO refreshing to see a beauty ad specifically targeted towards the over-50 ladies. They have money to spend on beauty stuff too, even though marketing largely ignores them. And I like the not-so-subtle message of this ad, which is “Helen Mirren is coming for your boyfriend.” (Just FYI, she’s 69 years old and I’m pretty sure she could have your boyfriend if she ever wanted him.)
