Pierce is going to receive a special Golden Camera award, the "Green Camera", a newly created award for achievements in environmental protection. Translation of a press release: On a Mission to save the World's OceansA special Golden Camera Award goes to Pierce Brosnan Parallel to his successful careers as an actor in international blockbusters such as the four James Bond films, "Around the World in 80 Days" or "Dante's Peak", as well as a producer in his own company "Irish DreamTime", Pierce Brosnan has worked with charity organisations such as UNICEF; but most of all he has given his name and support to various environmental organisations. (Award show will air on February 1, 2007) It is with great personal commitment that Mr Brosnan fights for the conservation of the oceans and the coastal wetlands, supporting among others the Natural Resources Defense Council. He also campaigns against air and water pollution. He sees in his world fame a natural responsibility not only to act as a role model in public life, but also to put himself and his name behind a good cause. Committed activist Pierce Brosnan has become a comitted activist in international environmentalism--not least to secure for his children's future a safe and life-friendly environment. His wife Keely Shaye, who he met during an environmental event in Mexico City [sic], continues to help him realise the various projects and campaigns. ***************************************************** Congratulations, Pierce!!!

Filtered-out and translated relevant bits from German articles: Die Welt, January 30: Brosnan will fly in Wednesday morning. He will be arriving from Palm Beach, Florida and will be staying at the Adlon Hotel by the Brandenburger Tor. Mr. Brosnan will be accompanied by his son Sean Willam (23). Morgenpost, February 1: A special award, The “Green Camera”, was reserved for ex-James Bond Pierce Brosnan for his commitment to the environment. Brosnan said before the event that this award supported his conviction to carry on his environmental work. Asked for his latest “sin” against the environment he answered, after being pressed for an answer by reporters: “I arrived on a private jet.” As usual, Thomas Gottschalk (popular German television host) hosted the event. After the show, guests were invited to a dinner party at “Axel-Springer-Haus” and served with meals prepared by gourmet cook Dieter Müller. The theme of the party, “Garden of Eden”, was created with trick fountains, flowers and plants. Guests could choose from a menu of fried scallops, fillet of samlet, roast saddle of lamb, veal, and perigord truffles. Berliner Kurier, February 2: Onlookers lining the red carpet got to see many a movie and television star, for instance Pierce Brosnan. The former 007 flew in on a private jet and cruised through Berlin in a “Maybach” luxury car. Yet he received the Golden Camera in the Environment category for his personal commitment to environmental causes. Bild, February 2: The Golden Night of the Stars“Wow, this is the German Oscars!” Movie star Pierce Brosnan (53) was right: 800 top celebrities, glamorous international stars and emotional moments could be seen at the 42nd Hörzu “Golden Camera” awards in “Ullstein Halle” in Berlin. (…) The happiest woman of the night was probably actress Christine Neubauer (44): She chatted with James Bond legend Pierce Brosnan about acting and afterwards confessed: “I didn’t dare talk to him, but then miraculously I was introduced to him. I’m still walking on air!” Hollywood? Oscars? US stars Eva Mendes, Pierce Brosnan and Nicholas Cage were relaxed and comfortable at the Golden Camera Party. “Berlin? Hey, it’s a dream! It’s great!” Finally, some more pics from zdf.de: *** More soon!

Very nice! I like the Green Camera Award idea. (But even he admits he's not perfect in practice!)

Very nice! I like the Green Camera Award idea. (But even he admits he's not perfect in practice!) At least he is not a hypocrite and admits to it. With the film star lifestyle he has to have, I suppose it's very difficult to be 100% eco-friendly all the time.
