Golden Globe winners

There were no best or worst dressed, no long and boring acceptance speeches thanking people we’ve never heard of over interrupting music and no nasally Joan Rivers. There was just a press conference. That was this year’s Golden Globes. But whatever, this year actors with merit came out winners, and that’s all that really counts. I’m so ecstatic that Marion Cotillard won for her breathtaking portrayal of the tragic life of sensational singer Edith Piaf in La Vie En Rose. Also scoring in the acting in musical or comedy category was Johnny Depp for his murderous barber in Sweeney Todd (which also won best film musical or comedy category). Other acting awards went to the incredibly talented Daniel Day-Lewis for There Will Be Blood, Julie Christie for Sarah Polley’s wonderful Away From Her, the sexy Javier Bardem won a supporting actor award for No Country for Old Men and Cate Blanchett won for the Dylan biopicish flick I’m Not There. Atonement (good book, personally haven’t seen the film yet) won best drama.
I was also excited for a lot of the boob tube winners. Ricky Gervais’s Extras, which won best television series musical/comedy, is one of the funniest shows (I love British humour), I also think 30 Rock is pretty freakin’ funny, so way to go Tina Fey for your best actress win. I also love Californication and Entourage, so I’m happy to hear that David Duchovny won best actor in a musical/comedy and Jeremy Piven won best supporting role in a series, mini-series or motion picture made for TV movie.
