We haven't had an encounter report in ages and this one is just too cute:

An exclusive WDW report from the Golden Globes red carpet - and Jake Gyllenhaal and friends
It was wonderful to see Jake Gyllenhaal on the Golden Globes red carpet this weekend and what makes it even more special is knowing that Jake shared it with my very dear friend Lisa (aka BBMISwear) who was working there this year. Hard day at the office, I'm sure you'll agree. In this photo, try and move your eyes from Jake. To his right is none other than Lisa.
In these caps, from the AP Livestream (check it out from about 15:50 onwards) you see Lisa in the background and then Jake appears. You can see him on the right in the second photo.
At this point, let's cut to Lisa's words, interspersed with Lisa's own pictures of a very gorgeous Jake Gyllenhaal shining on the golden red carpet. This picture below is particularly special - it's when Jake spots Lisa.
'While in route to find someone at the beginning of the carpet I was walking against the flow of the celebs walking down the carpet as they arrived and saw Natalie Portman right in front of me - I stopped in my tracks as she was simply beautiful and glowing. Just as I said that to a co-worker to my right I then looked up and who was coming up the carpet toward us? Jake! Amazing! He was talking to everyone and walking with his publicist Carrie and his regular bodyguard pal and was just breathtaking to see coming toward me.'
'I followed along Jake's route and watched him during the many photos taken, interviews conducted, etc. And then the most unexpected thing happened...as he stood in front of the bleacher seats with fans yelling to him and asking for autographs he was in conversation with Carrie and another PR person (it looked like they were planning what further press stops he'd make as they continued) he was now standing right in front of me not going anywhere quite yet so I took my chance at saying Hi (not an easy thing to do on this carpet with them all moving along as quickly as they can).'
'I leaned in so he could hear me and said "Hey Jake!" and then this is the incredibly unexpected part - he looked right at me and said "Hey! How are You?" as he put out his arm and pulled me into a hug! So I leaned in, hugged him and kissed his cheek! That beard stubble - Wow!!! I said "Great! How are you?" and he said "Great!" - huge smile! I said "Congratulations on your nomination" and he said "Thanks!" and then Carrie was ready to pull him on to the next press stop. I stood there in one place for a minute or two wondering how the hell that just happened?! He remembered me! It was amazing...simply amazing!!'
'After watching him continue on with his photos and press stops he was headed into the hotel ballroom very close to start time so off I went backstage to work! He talked to various people on the carpet - the one he talked the longest to was Natalie. He was very upbeat the whole time - at first when the fans in the bleachers asked him to come over to sign autographs he gave a signal like "I don't know if I can" and looked toward his publicist for confirmation but once he was told he had a few minutes to sign he walked right over to them. Although when he was "posing" for photos he was very serious with that brooding stance and stare when he was being interviewed he was smiling and laughing - always friendly with the interviewers, etc. Just so upbeat!'
'While on the carpet I saw Natalie as I said and also Nicole Kidman, Keith Urban, Kevin Spacey, Mark Ruffalo, Jimmy Fallon, Lea Michele (Glee), Matthew Morrison (Glee), Carrie Underwood and January Jones... Backstage I saw Bruce Willis, Mark Wahlberg, Christian Bale, Matt Damon, Steve Buscemi, Tilda Swinton, Chris Colfer (Glee) and Claire Danes among others. But I will say when I saw first Al Pacino and later Robert DeNiro come backstage, well, words cannot explain...those two are legends!! Another highlight was being in the press room when the ENTIRE cast of Glee came in after their big win...all of them...a huge, excited, loud, very happy group - they were so much fun and everyone in the industry loves Glee so everyone was so excited right along with them - clapping for them, high fiveing them, etc!! All of these moments were great...but NOTHING compares to my encounter with Jake on the red carpet.'
I am so grateful to Lisa for sharing her adventure with us! I'm not mentioning the 75 degrees that she had to endure in LA to bring us her story...
