Kevin Spacey has never won a Golden Globe, and he’s been nominated SIX times!

HollywoodLife.com spoke with Kevin at The Cinema Society with The Creative Coalition & Grey Goose screening of Casino Jack Dec. 17, and he revealed how excited and hopeful he is this time around!

“I was extremely over the moon,” Kevin gushed. “Very surprised because the film hasn’t opened yet but luckily the Hollywood Foreign Press had either watched their screeners or gone to screenings. I was very delighted that we managed to be recognized and for me it’s a tribute to George Hickenlooper my late wonderful director. He directed me to this performance, so it’s about George.”

After the film, guests attended the after party at the Setai Fifth Avenue Hotel & Residences, where they sipped cranberry Grey Goose La Poire cocktails and ate asparagus & gruyere quiche, black pepper angus beef, crispy quinoa & piquillo pepper, and New Zealand langostine in red pepper crepe with basil aioli — YUM!
