2000 Golden Globe Awards - Celebrity Close Ups

Statuesque actress Christine Lahti (left) has appeared in over 40 movie and television roles, including her Golden Globe and Emmy Award winning work on Chicago Hope. She is married to producer/director Tommy Schlamme, who recently won an Emmy Award for The West Wing. Christine has three children and (unbelievably) celebrated her 51st birthday this year.

Nurse Hathaway to the E.R., stat! Golden Globe nominee and Emmy Winner Julianna Margulies (right) will always be remembered for her role on the long running hospital drama E.R., but this super-talented - and very gracious - star has a bright future ahead. She proved she could hold her own as a leading lady in The Newton Boys with Matthew McConaughey, Skeet Ulrich, and Ethan Hawke. Julianna also starred in the TNT four hour mini-series The Mists of Avalon, which also featured Golden Globe Winner and Academy Award Nominee Joan Allen. Julianna also appeared in The Man From Elysian Fields with Andy Garcia and Mick Jagger. Award winning actress Anjelica Huston also appears in both movies. Margulies majored in art history at Sarah Lawrence College and spent her junior year abroad in Florence, Italy.

Former Golden Gloves boxer Ron Eldard (left) is a knockout actor who can go the distance in both dramas and comedies. Ron's work has ranged from the role of Mickey in the 1991 cult comedy Drop Dead Fred, to Shep the paramedic on NBC's E.R., to the fabulously rude Men Behaving Badly, to a compelling portrayal of Biff Loman in Death of A Salesman. Ron recently wrapped the romantic comedy Just A Kiss and is filming Black Hawk Down with Josh Hartnett and Tom Sizemore and Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood with Sandra Bullock and Ellen Burstyn. Eldard dated Julianna Margulies (below) from 1991-2003 after they met in acting class.

The pictures here and on the next pages were taken at the 2000 Golden Globe Awards. The celebrity parties get started after the last award is handed out in the International Ballroom of the Beverly Hilton Hotel. Studios and sponsors host galas throughout the highly secured venue and celebrities move freely from one party to the next throughout the night. Each party is artfully planned, with gourmet buffets, decadent desserts, open bars, premium champagne, live entertainment and plenty of dancing.

Tobey Maguire (right) started acting when he was 14 years old and had twenty-five film and television appearances to his credit by the time he was 25. Tobey came into his own in the 1998 movie Pleasantville which also starred Reese Witherspoon.

Two of Tobey's recent movies have gone on to garner multiple nominations and awards. 1999's The Cider House Rules won two Academy Awards and 2000's Wonder Boys was nominated for several Golden Globe Awards, including Best Picture (Drama) and Best Actor (Michael Douglas).
