CRI听力:British Stars Set to Shine at Golden Globes

The Golden Globes are going to be handed out today.

British stars are expected to compete in both the best actor and actress categories.

Benedict Cumberbatch and Eddie Redmayne go head-to-head for the best actor prize, for their respective roles as Alan Turing in The Imitation Game and Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything.

Rosamund Pike and Felicity Jones compete in the best actress category.

Both are newcomers to the ceremony, with Pike shortlisted for the thriller Gone Girl, and Jones for the Hawking biopic, The Theory of Everything.
Rosamund Pike says she was excited for her performance in "Gone Girl":

"You know, you're constantly facing the demons of, 'I'm not good enough.' So, to get the acknowledgment that some people think you were good enough really means a lot. And then to be acknowledged in the U.K. and to be acknowledged by BAFTA, I was truly, truly excited.

But to win, they must defeat seven-time nominee Julianne Moore, who is hoping to win her first Globe, for Still Alice, in which she portrays a woman with early-onset Alzheimer's.

The Golden Globes is the first big ceremony of the long awards season in Hollywood.
