Both Michael and Mai-Linh were styled by amazing wardrobe stylist Allison Rae (@AllisonRaeStyle) who received feedback from Michael Stuhlbarg “many people commented on her (Mia-Linh) bag wherever they went Golden Globe night ". Both were photographed arriving at the 2010 Golden Globe Awards and at exclusive after parties including NBC/Universal/Focus Features Golden Globes After party presented by Cartier at The Beverly Hilton Hotel.

Michael Stuhlbarg was nominated for 2010 Golden Globe Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture – Comedy Or Musical for his lead role in ‘A Serious Man’, a dark comedy directed by Ethan and Joel Coen. “A Serious Man is a dark comedy with a pervasive sense of unease. But the milieu harks back to the Coens’ childhood. And while the atmosphere — with its painstaking attention to details of the era — may be familiar to those who grew up in the ’60s and ’70s, the story is wholly original.” USA Today 10/4/2009.
