BEVERLY HILLS, California — After having announced a week earlier that he had beaten cancer, Michael Douglas took the stage at the Golden Globes awards ceremony in Beverly Hills, California, on Jan. 16 and was greeted with a warm round of applause.
"There's just got to be an easier way to get a standing ovation," he told his peers.
The event was the 66-year-old actor's first public appearance since making the announcement. He was there as a best supporting actor nominee for his performance in "Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps," the sequel to 1987's award-winning "Wall Street." Douglas won a best actor Oscar for his turn in the role of Gordon Gekko in that film.
