Martin Henderson Actor

Martin Henderson Actor, A man who was left crippled in a drunken dwarf toss attack has found fame over night after a Hollywood actor dedicated an award to him.

American actor Peter Dinklage ended his Golden Globes acceptance speech by mentioning Martin Henderson, and the humble suggestion to “Google him”.

The 37-year-old from Somerset soon became a trending topic on Twitter and those who searched him online found his heartbreaking story.

The aspiring actor was left in a wheelchair after being picked up and dropped by a drunken rugby fan while celebrating his birthday.

Martin Henderson, from Milborne Port, was in the White Horse pub, in Wincanton, celebrating with a group of friends when he was attacked outside.

The incident happened just weeks after reports in the media claimed members of the England rugby team, including Mike Tindall, had been enjoying a “dwarf throwing contest” in a bar in New Zealand during their ill-fated World Cup campaign.

While Mr Henderson’s friends were playing pool he said he went outside for a cigarette and was targeted on October 7 last year.

After landing hard on the ground he said his back and legs began to feel numb. It has since been revealed he has suffered tissue damage in his back.

“We were having a good night out to celebrate my birthday,” Mr Henderson told the Western Gazette last week.

“I went outside for a cigarette and the next thing I know I’m suddenly in the air and someone has got hold of me.”

The 37-year-old said he believed there was only one person involved in the incident.

“I guess I was an easy target and the only reason I was picked on was because I am small,” he added.

Avon and Somerset Police are now investigating the incident.

Dinklage won best supporting actor in a TV series, miniseries or movie for his performance in the HBO fantasy series Game of Thrones. He earlier won an Emmy for the role.

Ricky Gervais Golden Globes

Ricky Gervais Golden Globes, Ricky Gervais for his portrayal of the Golden Globes 2011 host, saying he was “too mean” to celebrities: do you accept?
Some bloggers and writers have a fit because Ricky Gervais has a sharp edge to his comedy during the Golden Globes. He mocked celebrities, people who are used to get everyone to give them everything they want. They are billionaires who live lives of plush travel the world, own homes, private planes fly and eat nothing but the best food. So PLEASE. I do not want to know how Ricky Gervais ruined their night. Just think of it as something of a celebrity roast – except there were many goals!
During the Golden Globes, Ricky Gervais mocked Cher, and how nobody wanted to go to a Cher concert since 1975, how Sex and the City 2 special effects team should have been nominated for their photoshopping massive poster of the film, Gervais and even called “father Ashton Kutcher.” Bruce Willis HA!

(CP) – The Nielsen Co. said Sunday the Golden Globes ceremony was seen by nearly 17 million viewers. He beat all the competition in the network’s period, slightly exceeding last year’s audience award for film and television show.

In the time zone adjusted Nielsen fast national “figures released Monday, it was NBC’s most watched television entertainment in prime time in the demographic of 18 to 49 from last year Golden Globes.

Carried by NBC 8:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. Eastern time, the program broadcast live in each time zone for the second consecutive year.

British comedian Ricky Gervais turned-actor as host, irreverent satire of many candidates, presenters and even the godfather Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

RICKY GERVAIS GOLDEN GLOBES 2011

RICKY GERVAIS GOLDEN GLOBES 2011, With a mouthful of beer and a dam joke, Ricky Gervais, left the audience speechless for the 2011 Golden Globe Awards. Promising to “reap it” for the show this year, the actor certainly did not disappoint his fans – but he managed to anger many of Hollywood’s A-List and Price show organizers.

Disappearance from the scene for nearly an hour at the ceremony, many speculated that the host was fired midway through the broadcast [via The Telegraph].

“Besides the fact that it was very shabby with shades slightly sinister, I would say that the show is going very well so far, is not it?” Robert Downy Jr. asked the audience.

Ricky has brought the star of Iron Man, “saying:” … Many of you in this room probably know [Robert Downey Jr.] from facilities like the Betty Ford Clinic and Los Angeles County Jail. ”

Ricky also took a dig at the president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association President Philip Berk, saying: “I had to help the HFPA President toilet and pop his teeth into” The HFPA president later said, “No comment, “when asked if he would invite to welcome Ricky back Golden Globe Awards for the third consecutive year.

Awards shows are usually a means for MC to make fun of past years’ successes and failures, but humor the British actor is too cruel? He did warn us to issue its objectives Ellen DeGeneres; can we really blame Ricky Gervais?
