New pictures and videos from the Screen Actors Guild Awards have been added. Clips include segments from the show – the Best Actress category (the award went to Sandra Bullock – not the end of the world ;-)) and Meryl presenting the Best Actor award to Jeff Bridges, as well as two interviews from the red carpet. Enjoy the new additions!

Here are the very first pictures of Meryl arriving at the 16th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards. She is nominated as Best Actress for “Julie & Julia”.

Meryl Streep, Morgan Freeman, Julia Roberts and Reese Witherspoon are the latest to appear in public service messages for the American Red Cross Haitian relief effort. The Advertising Council on Friday announced that they and Tim McGraw, Jake Gyllenhaal and Eva Longoria will be featured in the messages that will start to be distributed this weekend. The latest spots were produced with assistance of the Creative Artists Agency Foundation by ad agency GSD&M Idea City.

George Clooney has rallied a few mates for a telethon today to raise money for earthquake-ravaged communities in Haiti. Hope for Haiti Now: A Global Benefit for Earthquake Relief is set to become the most widely distributed telethon in history, reaching 640 million viewers. Foxtel viewers can see the benefit from 11am today on MTV, VH! and CNN, with repeats throughout the day. The two-hour commercial-free telecast will feature performances from Bruce Springsteen, Madonna, Sting, Christina Aguilera, Justin Timberlake, Stevie Wonder and Taylor Swift. Caboolture boy Keith Urban will perform a group act with Kid Rock and Sheryl Crow, while Coldplay, Beyonce, Jay-Z, Bono and The Edge will collaborate from London. There’ll be a star-studded team working off stage too, with Nicole Kidman, Brad Pitt, Robert Pattinson, Meryl Streep and former US president Bill Clinton giving testimonials and manning the phones. Funds raised will be split evenly between relief organisations in Haiti.

Added more Golden Globes media to the archives. Two backstage interviews, aired on Access Hollywood and NBC, after winning the Golden Globe.

Then, more pictures from the press room and high quality screencaps from the NBC interview with many thanks to Arwen, also for providing the related clip. Thanks a lot!

According to GMTV’s website they will be joined by Meryl on their Monday 25th show. No word if it will be a taped interview or a live appearance – we will see :-) Thanks to Sara for the heads-up!

Something truly fantastic is coming to DVD and Blu-ray. On March 23rd you’ll be able to own the critically acclaimed film adaptation of the beloved Roald Dahl children’s book, Fantastic Mr. Fox. After a squad-stealing mishap, Mr. Fox (George Clooney) promises his wife, Felicity (Meryl Streep), to find a safe and steady job. Two years later he’s a newspaper columnist living in a hole with Felicity and their son, Ash (Jason Schwartzman). Things are okay, but Fox craves more. He’s thrilled when he finds a great deal on a beautiful home. The only problem is that it’s located right near the factories run by the farmers Walter Boggis, Nathan Bunce, and Franklin Bean. The temptation gets the best of him, and Fox recruits his superintendent and visiting nephew to accompany him on the ultimate raid on all three facilities. More information on its special features, plus its cover art, after the jump.

Congratulations to Meryl Streep for winning her career’s seventh Golden Globe Award tonight in the category of Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical for “Julie & Julia”. Clips of her acceptance speech and her press room interview can be streamed in the video archive.

Streep set the record for most nominations last year when her double lead actress nods for “Doubt” and “Mamma Mia!” gave her 23 in total, breaking the tie with Jack Lemmon who racked up 22 lead nods and 4 wins. And with tonight’s win for “Julie & Julia”, she surpassed previous record holders Jack Nicholson and Angela Lansbury. The first pictures from the show as well as high quality screencaps can be found in the Image Library with more to follow.

And last but not least, Meryl’s speech:

Thank you. I wanna change my name to T-Bone (laughter). T-Bone Streep. I think it sounds good. Oh gosh. I, I’m gonna forget what I wanted to say, because I’m like overwrought. Darl, what was my first part? Yeah, I love Nora (laughter). I really am grateful to Nora and to everybody at Sony and Stanley, of course (applause) and everybody in the cast and crew. I just wanna say that I, in my long career, played so many extraordinary women that basically I’m getting mistaken for one. No really, I’m very clear about the fact that I’m the vessel for other people’s stories and other women’s lifes. And this year I got to play, not only one of the most beloved women in America, Julia Child, but I also got to secretly pay homage to my own personal, not so famous, hero. That’s my mother, who shared – who’s of the same generation as Julia – who shared her verve. Lot of the people in this room knew my mother and knew that she had a real joy in living and she just had no patience for gloom and doom. I’m not like that (laughter). I come to Golden Globes weekend. And I am really honestly conflicted how to have my happy movie self in the face of everything in that I’m aware of, in the real world. And I wanna say that that’s when I have my mother’s voice coming to me, saying ‘Partners in Health. Shoot some money to Partners in Health. Put the dress on. Put on a smile and be damn grateful that you have the dollars to help, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day’. I am really grateful. I am really grateful. So thank you!
