The Golden Globes ceremony is being held Jan. 15 at the Beverly Hilton hotel in Los Angeles. And West is hoping his old co-star from HBO's celebrated series "The Wire," Idris Elba, will be there to share the fun
-- Elba is nominated in the same category as West for "Luther." Although West claims never to have been in the running for an acting prize before, he says his old castmates at "The Wire" would go to any award show. "No one would turn up from 'The Sopranos' because they were bored of awards, and no one would turn up from
'West Wing' or whatever because they were bored -- but the whole of 'The Wire' would turn up," he explained. "We never got nominated for anything but we'd always have a good time." The new series of "The Hour" promises to address cover-ups, sexual intrigues and the looming Cold War. West said his character has become a celebrity in 1957 England and soon goes off the rails. "He's built up as this big star and his fall is, consequently, as big and profound," he said.
