Golden Compass Premier

I was lucky enough to get there, behind the barriers, and in front of the entrance to cinema, opposite the film crews on the other side.
First of all, we were lucky as it was a mild night and no rain. Second, the security guard we chatted up let us though just as the barrier was closed to anymore public.
Then OH my God, it started. After 1hr1/2 of waiting, we saw Dakota walking up the red carpet followed by the scrum of publicity people. She was very sweet and signed for me and my children. She seems very confident and very bright for a 13 yr old. A few more celebs and then i could here Daniel being shouted down the line. With one person in front of me, up i went on tipey toes and there with my own eyes i could see him. Black suit, white shirt etc with Satiska close by. He went over to the media people for interviews, so could only see him from the back, with the usual hand grip of Saskita, behind his back. I must say she was utterly beautiful in what looked like a black/dark grey silk full length dress, hair up. She spoke to many people of the cast/crew as they went by, as Daniel carried on the interview in front. She is very much part of the whole deal, and i thought looked like a very strong confident woman in her own right, but with the softness of a supporting girlfriend.
Then Oh my God, it was time for him to come over to us for autographs. I had taken my box set of 'Friends of the North', for him to sign. Many people were shouting and some didn't know who was who, just there for the sake of it. What a waste. I held my box set out and my eyes were firmly fixed on Daniel at this point. Looking great as usual, chatting and laughing with some of the crowd. Then came my moment - i'm ashamed to say i started shouting too, 'please daniel sign my friends from the north'. Don't know if he picked up on it or it was just my turn, but he took it out of my hands and signed. No eye contact with me, but he smiled, as he realised what he was signing. Then on to the next one! I just kept saying 'Thank you Daniel'. Eva was next, and wow beautiful girl, she signed and was very sweet to my two children.
Obviously i was not interested in anyone else but for the sake of my two children and husband, we stayed for the other celebs, x-factor people, news readers, HUGH GRANT(i love myself), strictly come dancing, Trinny(from trinny and Suzanne), Joan Collins etc.
Then OH my God, she was here - Nicole Kidman. Last one to roll up, no interviews, walked straight past us, up to the main entrance with cameras clicking all the way. She looked like a porcelain doll, completely stunning. A true movie star look and persona. I could only stare. Gr8 night!!
