Antonio Banderas defends Spanish at the Golden Globes Award Ceremony
Humorous characters, devoided of any culture, dare to criticize the film stars' accents, whether they are bilingual or multilingual.
In the latest installment of the Golden Globes it was a "little controversy": Rick Gervais, the typical stooges host to whom organizers often recur to present these awards, criticized the English accent of Antonio Banderas and Salma Hayek , a critique extended to other Latinos flooding Hollywood these days, prior to present the award for best TV comedy.
The stooge said in a rather successful assertion "They're very talented and probably very interesting, or not. I'm not sure because I cannot understand anything they say "a sentence that in itself demonstrates the culture of such an individual.
These words preceded Antonio Banderas and his companion when the TV came into the scene, where Banderas, displaying his culture and using Latin subtlety, began by reciting a poem by Calderon de la Barca.
Afterwards, the Colombian Sofia Vergara, star of the award-winning TV comedy, Modern Family, thanked the Spanish: "Thank you Antonio thanks Salma for making this an international award. We are going to receive it in two languages. "
Steve Levitan, executive producer of Modern Family, translated Sofia Vergara's words into English, therefore exposing the cultural and intellectual level of the presenter.
