Yes.. what a wonderful intern I am. Rushed back from an assignment, ate my breakfast and checked up on the ongoing Golden Globe awards. As I predicted, the awards distribution was pretty even.The Social Network lead the winners with 4 wins including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Score. Followed by The Fighter with 2 wins by Christian Bale and Melissa Leo in the supporting role categories. The Kid's Are All Right won for Best Motion Picture- Comedy along with Annette Benning winning for Best Actress in a Motion Picture Comedy. Black Swan, The King's Speech, Barney's Version each won 1 award for their lead actors.
Over in TV, Glee reigned supreme with 3 wins including Best TV Series- Comedy and acting awards for Jane Lynch and Chris Colfer. Mad Men's streak has been upset with Steve Buscemi's dark and gritty Boardwalk Empire which swept the dramatic awards.
The big WTF-ness in all of this is that Inception, one of the highest grossing movies and critically acclaimed movies of the year went home with zilch. Not a single win for Christopher Nolan and his cast. This is The Dark Knight all over again.Fuck you Hollywood Foreign Press!
