On with the post...
Last night, Jake Gyllenhaal got the chance to test his tux (Salvatore Ferragamo) in advance of tonight's Golden Globes. Jake was one of many well-known faces who turned out to support the Art of Elysium at their 'Heaven' Gala at the California Science Center in LA.
The Art of Elysium is a non-profit organisation that 'encourages working actors, artists and musicians to voluntarily dedicate their time and talent to children who are battling serious medical conditions. We provide artistic workshops in the following disciplines: acting, art, comedy, fashion, music, radio, songwriting and creative writing'. One of its chairs is Ryan Kavanaugh, photographed below with Jake, who was a producer of Brothers. Jake also got the chance to practise his GyllenGlare.
Earlier in the day, Jake was out having breakfast in West Hollywood. In the recent jogging photographs and in these Jake wears a new bracelet.* Please note how I'm not mentioning that Jake looks just as hot from this angle as he does from any other.
*Update: I've been informed this is probably a 'Power Balance' band, that is now all the rage among people who think their power needs balancing but actually have far less need of it than many of the rest of us (speaking for myself). Wearers include Kate Middleton and Becks.
As Awards season progresses full steam ahead, the Guardian has done a feature on its top ten acceptance speeches. I'm delighted to say that Jake's heartfelt and extremely moving acceptance speech for his GLAAD award back in 2006 makes the list. Jake, of course, couldn't make the ceremony in person because he was filming Zodiac. Jake likewise missed the Globes that year for the same reason. But it means that his words are preserved in this video.
Many thanks to IHJ for the new pictures.
