So I am just here to have a good time and enjoy the show: I have never been to this show before so I don't know what to expect. Just to have a good time."<br/> <br />When it was time to pick up his award he even tried a few words in German to say thank you:<br/> <br />SOUNDBITE Denzel Washington, actor, saying (German):<br/> <br />"I thank you for the golden camera. Many thanks Berlin, many thanks Germany!"<br/> <br />Scarlett Johansson who was awarded best international actress revealed she already knew where to put her prize:<br/> <br />SOUNDBITE Scarlett Johansson, actress, saying (English):<br/> <br />"Absolutely- I don't have anything gold.
