The actress appeared on the red carpet in a glimmering black gown and has garnered numerous new admirers for it, with a lot of people referring to her as the new 'LOML' (internet shorthand for love of my life). “I had no clue,” Geraldine exclaims as we read some of the tweets to her, blushing slightly. “This is flattering. I am genuinely blushing about that,” the actress manages to articulate.
