Iranian of the Day

Ms. golemina

You noted ever so lovingly[Some Iranians are used to hating others without even knowing
them.... mordeshooresh ro bebarand... een deegeh che kharee bood.... how dare we comment on others when they are all human beings just like us . What authority do we have ????We need to learn to be more kind and tolerant. Just be happy for her and be happy that we have a voice in Hollywood that could channel some positive thoughts about Iranians.]

1: She is a public figure, hence she will get the criticism whether YOU like it or not.

2: Hate is an extremely harsh word, no one , I mean no one except YOU used that word to voice their opinion of her person.

3. We dare to comment on people like her, when she chooses to associate herself with Neo-cons and entities such as Faux News. It just comes with the territories that she dwells in.

4. I commented on her talent very positively, rightfully too. But as a person, as a political polarity she has chosen to be in I do not like her as that person.

5. Thou shalt not attempt to censor people ;-o) This has nothing to do with tolerance, nor with kindness. I am entitled to my opinion about her as you are. So what is that puts me in front of barge of your criticism without knowing me?

Isn't it what you complain about to begin with? There is word for this type of attitude, and it begins with hypocrisy.

Cheers dear lady.

Shohreh Aghdashloo

I am so happy for you and whomever that shares the same feelings as pride, joy and sense of accomplishments. Ms. Shohreh Aghdashloo like many Iranians (male or female) has conquered a peak but this time as an actor. Iranian women or men could do great things and Shohreh has shown that she could  walk the walk on such a fine line with such class and I really liked her speech and didn`t get embarressed(it happens that sometimes some of us don`t speak the best english) but she nailed it.

Great job

Faramarz Khane'e Fateh

Going by your name you are male. So I'm curious, how the heck did you come to the conclusion that she is a 'source of pride to us Iranian WOMEN'? Believe it or not some of us can, and do, accomplish a hell of a lot more in life than acting! This is like saying Nasser Malek Motiei & Fardin made all you Iranian men proud! WTF!!?? And please don't say they did and shatter what illusions I have left.

Right But...

golemina

I am totally with you that people, iranians in this case, go overboard and criticize one's character without knowing them too well, But in terms of her being our voice in hollywood... I am sorry, what planet did you say you lived on again? Was it earth?...

Both her and Golshifte farahani and all actors and actresses in hollywood have one concern and one concern only: their fame and their bottomline.

I think we are deluding ourselves if we think they really care to be our voices in there.

Peace.

Aghdashloo has made a good name for herself/causes Good for us!

Everything is sacred.

I don't like her

She is not a nice individual but nice grapefruits. She does look better today that she did in the 70's, that's for shooa

EYYY BABA

It amazes me how some folks say " I do not like her as a person". You can say I dont' like her performance or comments about such and such or the way she dresses or whatever but you can only claim that you do not like someone as a person when you truely know that person , you have associated with her on a personal level for a while. Some Iranians are used to hating others without even knowing them.... mordeshooresh ro bebarand... een deegeh che kharee bood.... how dare we comment on others when they are all human beings just like us . What authority do we have ????We need to learn to be more kind and tolerant. Just be happy for her and be happy that we have a voice in Hollywood that could channel some positive thoughts about Iranians.

Proud??? Seriously?

Hmmm pride isn't exactly what comes to mind when I see her perform, or win, or play into the hands of HW, how they want it, when they want it, or wheeze through her speech for that matter.

I felt MASSIVE pride when the Iranian youth had the entire world gasping for breath when they took to the streets armed with nothing but their beliefs and their intelligence..and their cell phone cameras. She gets the stage at the Emmy's with all the lights and cameras in HW and neglects to make use of a golden opportunity to support them? Looking at all of you busting at the seams with pride and gettin' your feelers in a twist, I'm thinking I must be crazy! I thought she shamed us ... and not just with her poor acting skills.

Proud_to_be_anonymous has all that is worth a mention covered. Thanks for the chuckle. 

iroooni "Disappointed"

At least, she was wearing a green bracelett. She is proabably still embarassed about her initial comment about the green movement.

Right!

And Capt.:

I do not like her as a person.

That does not make her any less of a capable artist that she is, it is just me!

Me to! I agree with you.

chi begam?

I admire her for her courage, talent and all, but sorry I do not like her as a person.

That does not make her any less of a capable artist that she is, it is just me !

javid iran 

The lady

The lady was really glowing! She does not look like 3 years away from 60, no way! Congratulations!!!

yolanda

The only Emmys...

I ever watched,just wishing to see her win.It was worth it.

Ebi aka Haaji

hey folk..

Her pride belongs to herself, not to anyone else! unless she wants to share!

she is talent and great at what she is doing..

Source of pride

She is a source of pride for all Iranians, especially the Iranian women.

100% class and a true professional.

Congratulations Mrs. Aghdashloo. 

House of Saddam?

After 8 years of War with Iraq 

people in the West do not know the difference between Iran and Iraq

Shohreh Aghdashloo says her ancestors Vaziri-Tabar were members of the royal court, darbar

Now she has played the role of Saddam's wife 

What will happen next will Farahnaz Pahlavi pose for Hustler

Congrats to Ms. Aghdashloo

As always, nothing is sacred

Good job!

She's definitely getting younger and more beautiful every day.

Here's a 7 minute interview from last night, unfortunately the green band was gone:

You Go Girl!

A Skillful actress and a down to earth Iranian.

It seems as she gets younger and more attractive with age.

Well-deserved

Congratulations to a great actress -- and thank you for the green band!

It was About Time!

You make us proud, Shohreh :) Well deserved award...

Incidentally, does she have a breathing problem?  Or maybe just out of breath?!

...

به به ... واقعا لذت بردیم از این جریان ! ایشان باعث افتخار ما هستند.

خانوم‌های ایرانی‌ باید از ایشان الگو بگیرند و سرمشق نه از زینب و فاطی کلثوم !

ممنون داریوش جان.

FYI/No celebration at 13th Iran Cinema Celebration (Tehran News)

In the meantime in Iran ... 

 TEHRAN -- The 13th Iran Cinema Celebration was held Friday night at Tehran's Esteqlal Hotel, with no competition and no winner announcement. The festival is held annually to celebrate Iran's National Cinema Day (Sep. 12) and is sponsored by the House of Cinema. However, this year's celebration was held on September 18 due to its coincidence with the holy month of Ramadan.

At least...

She wore the Green wristband.   But I agree she should have made a statement about one of the most important events in history of Iran. 

Disappointed

I was expecting her to make a statement about the events in Iran.

At least, she was wearing a green bracelett. She is proabably still embarassed about her initial comment about the green movement.

Mercy

Sweet mother of mercy!  Look at those puppies.  Long live silicon! 

Great Job

Great job Mrs Aghdashloo

Iranian women kick ass!

Another testimony to the fact that our female compatriots are way more successful than their male counterparts on international stages. More power to them!

Congratulations Shohreh!

Last night, I watched the Emmys and cheered and felt proud for her win! I liked a lot her poise while giving her nice speech!

Wonderful victory for the Iranian women! Azarin
