Sting Wins First Golden Globe With 'Until'
Yahoo! Music, Jan 20, 2002 11:00 pm PST
(1/20/02, 11 p.m. ET) -- Sting won his first-ever Golden Globe Sunday night (January 20) for his song "Until," which can be heard on the soundtrack to Kate & Leopold.
Sting appeared tickled to have won the best original song trophy. "I'm deeply honored. I'd like to thank the Hollywood Foreign Press. I'd like to thank Meg Ryan, Hugh Jackman, (director) Jim Mangold, (producer) Harvey Weinstein, everyone at Miramax for making a delightful movie and for inspiring me to write a romantic song. I like it very much. I'm glad you do--thanks again. My beautiful wife, Trudie..."
Other nominees for the best original song honor included a who's who of songwriting. "Until" bested David Baerwald's "Come What May" from Moulin Rouge, "May It Be" by Enya and Nicky Ryan from The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring, Diane Warren's love song "There You'll Be" from Pearl Harbor, and Paul McCartney's title song to Cameron Crowe's trippy drama Vanilla Sky.
