New Delhi:
Among the celebrities presenting awards at this year's Golden Globes will be one face perhaps less familiar to cine-fans but no less celebrated than his fellow luminaries - former F1 racing champion Niki Lauda, now 64.
The Austrian motorsports hero, three time winner of the F1 world championship, and his 1976 track battle with fellow racing legend James Hunt is the subject of this year's film Rush. Mr Lauda is played by German actor Daniel Bruhl, nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the Golden Globes.
Other than Mr Lauda, the line-up of presenters reads like a who's who of Hollywood and includes nominees Tom Hanks, Sandra Bullock and Jennifer Lawrence; Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick, parents of this year's Miss Golden Globe Sosie Bacon; Matt Damon, Mila Kunis, Kate Beckinsale and Uma Thurman will rub shoulders with TV stars Julie Bowen and Seth Meyers.
As always, there is also a goodish sprinkling of superheroes - Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr), Thor (Chris Hemworth) and The Incredible Hulk (Mark Ruffalo) - as well as a future superhero, the much-denounced and pronounced-unfit-for-duty-by-fanboys Ben Affleck who will play Batman in the sequel to Man Of Steel, opposite Henry Cavill's Superman.
