Sadly, Jennifer Love Hewitt did not win the Golden Globe Award for “Best Actress for miniseries or made-for-TV movie” at the 2011 Golden Globe Awards. She lost the category to actress Claire Danes.

While this is a disappointment, Love has a long career ahead of her and I’m sure this will not be her last Golden Globe nomination!

The first photos of Jennifer Love Hewitt arriving at the 2011 Golden Globe Awards are slowly coming in. I have just created a preview image for everyone to check out Love’s outfit/style at the awards! Will be adding actual photos from the event later tonight.

Jennifer Love Hewitt will make her feature directorial debut in an adaptation of family ghost story “Wait Till Helen Comes” through Hewitt’s Fedora Films and Just Believe Prods.

Producers are Hewitt and producing partner A.J. Rinella with Victoria Sanchez Mandryk co-producing and Manuel Freedman exec producing. Producers are eyeing a summer start.

Sanchez Mandryk has penned the script for “Wait Till Helen Comes,” based on the novel by Mary Downing Hahn, which centers on a 12-year-old girl who’s the eldest of three children in a blended family that moves from Baltimore into a house converted from a church in the Maryland countryside. The tormented ghost of a little girl comes to haunt the 12-year-old but forms an intimate though dangerous friendship with her seven-year-old stepsister.

She directed several segments of “The Ghost Whisperer.” She and A.J. Rinella have set up “Bad Taste in Men” at ABC and an untitled comedy at Fox, as well as a series adaptation of her TV film “The Client List” at Lifetime.

I know what Jennifer Love Hewitt may be doing with her boyfriend Alex Beh this spring.

She and Beh will be in Chicago filming the coming-of-age indie flick Warren. Beh not only wrote the movie, but he’s also producing, directing and costarring in it. Hewitt is playing his ex-girlfriend.

And then she’ll be going behind the camera to make her feature film directorial debut with a big screen adaptation of children’s horror book, Wait Until Helen Comes. “I directed [Ghost Whisperer] a few times so this is new and exciting,” Hewitt told me earlier this week at TV Land’s party for Hot In Cleveland and new series Retired at 35.

She wants to shoot in the flick in Rhode Island. Casting hasn’t begun, but Hewitt said, “I would love Maria Bello to be in it. I would love her to play the mom in it.”

For now, Hewitt has Sunday’s Globes to worry about. She’s up for Best Actress in a Miniseries/TV Movie for her starring role as a suburban housewife-turned-call girl in Lifetime’s The Client List.

She’s already jotted down some notes for an acceptance speech—not because she thinks she’s a shoo-in to win. “I’m terrified to speak in public,” she confessed. “It’s bad, so I did write a few things down on a little piece of paper.”

Jennifer Love Hewitt has made a statement about her Golden Globe nomination – read it below!

Jennifer Love Hewitt has been nominated at the 2011 Golden Globe Awards for her role in the film “The Client List”! She’s nominated in the “Best Performance By An Actress In A Mini-Series Or Motion Picture Made For Television” – let’s keep our fingers crossed that Love will bring home the award!

Sure we have to give props to flicks like “127 Hours,” “Inception,” “The Social Network,” “The Fighter,” “The King’s Speech” and “Black Swan” for their Golden Globe nominations, but as we were watching the nominations being announced this morning, MTV Newsroom Blog editor Kyle Anderson and I were delighted to find out one of the nominations went out to Jennifer Love Hewitt for her turn as a desperate mom turned masseuse turned prostitute turned whistle blower in the greatest film of 2010 (and a Lifetime Original!), “The Client List”

Hewitt’s character in “The Client List” doesn’t chop off her arm to save herself or kidnap people’s dreams, nor does she start up a controversial multi-billion dollar social network or struggle with self-identity while she trains for a high-profile ballet performance, but Hewitt’s Samantha Horton did had an overbearing mother (just like Natalie Portman did in “Black Swan”), a drug problem and the audacity to sell out the men she “massaged” in order to face a less harsh jail sentence — that’s some straight-up Mark Zuckerberg business right there, people!

In the category of Best Performance By An Actress In A Mini-Series Or Motion Picture Made For Television, she’s up against Hayle Atwell for something called “Pillars of the Earth,” Claire Danes for those eyelash commercials (or maybe it was for “Temple Grandin”), Dame Judi Dench for “Return To Cranford” and Romola Garai for “Emma,” but of course our money is on Love to take home the coveted prize.
