TEMPLE GRANDIN!
It was a big night for television, and an even bigger night for autism awareness last Sunday 8/29 at the 10th Annual Emmy Awards. As someone who has read Temple Grandin's books, has been inspired by her story, and believes in her cause, I was so excited each time the film won an award. I was especially touched every time Temple was featured on camera and during the last acceptance speech, when Temple was on stage and her mother was asked to stand in the audience.
Temple Grandin won the following awards:
- Supporting actress, Julia Ormond
- Supporting actor, David Strathairn
- Lead actress, Claire Danes
- Director, Mick Jackson
- Outstanding Made for Television Movie
- Best Music Composition
- Best Camera Editing
It is a film definitely worth watching, if you have not already! To learn more about Temple Grandin the film (and Temple herself), click on these links to stories by Deadline Hollywood and Emmys Blog, or visit Temple's website.
