While talking to NBC’s Matt Lauer and Savannah Guthrie on the red carpet at the Beverly Hilton, Amalcouldn’t stop beaming. “I’m just really proud of what we are celebratingtonight. It’s my first time at the Golden Globes,” she said. “I’m sorry Ibrought the British weather with me, but we are very happy to be here.”

Later, in the press room, George told reporters he also had a new found appreciation for his wife and women who attend award shows. “Guys have it so much easier. It’s honestly not fair," he quipped. "Amal was looking at dresses last night, still trying to figure out what she was going to wear, and I was watching the football game.”
He continued, “It was 2 o’clock this afternoon, we were still watching the ball game. It’s not fair to women at the award show, but it’s nice. I’m wearing my wedding tux.”
