I saw the News Zero team interviewing Nino-chan. It was not Sho tho...I wonder how is tonight's News Zero like on the Berlinale. Oh and the same Hong Kong reporter interviewed him again, yappari Asian reporters will be more interested in Nino-chan ne ^^

Anyway, our Nino-chan is very popular in Berlin too ^^ I could hear fans shouting "Nino, Nino" all the way throughout the red carpet. One fan even shouted "Nino daisuki". But Nino-chan was too busy being interviewed and he din seem to look over to the fans...he seems a little bit lost when he entered the red carpet but still so cute...heh

 

Arriving at the red carpet

Taking a photo shoot after signing his name on his big poster

 

The 4 big posters of the Iwo Jima team at Berlinale. All 4 of them autographed on it.

OMG! OMG!

I'm watching Berlin Festival right now, Nino looks so small besides Eastwood, Ken Watanabe and Ihara Tsuyoshi!

It's the photo call and the camera lights are flashing so fast. Nino looks kinda tense yet relaxed...he is wearing a black scarf, grey suit...looking good ne ^^

To quote what Nino-chan said of yesterday's win in Golden Globes

「おめでとうございます。そしてありがとうございますっ！という気持ち」

Yatta! Letters from Iwo Jima has won the Best Foreign Film in the Golden Globes!!

"American director Clint Eastwood's Japanese-language World War II saga "Letters From Iwo Jima" won the honor for foreign-language film, a prize usually reserved for movies from outside the United States.

"You don't know what this does for my confidence," said director Eastwood, whose "Letters" and its English-language companion piece "Flags of Our Fathers" generally have failed to catch on with audiences and earlier Hollywood awards"
