Ivo Portolano, chairman of the EGA judging panel said: “With her natural poise and devastatingly attractive smile, Diane Keaton has always embodied the idea of the sophisticated, urban beauty. And almost from the outset, the gloved hand has been an integral part of her look. Whether wearing a pair made from the finest kid leather or a suede pair from Gucci, the effect is always one of breathtaking elegance. That, and the fact that she comes across as a likeable, warm person, is why we agreed that the honour of Global Glove Wearer of the Year 2004 should be awarded to her.”
