The Golden Globes were on last Sunday and what a night it was. Laughs, tears and disappointed faces, were from start to finish. And their was some very embarrassing moments… ok, it was only Kate Whistled who made a fool of her self. From who won the awards at the Golden Globes, it really shows America that the British are coming. With Danny Boyle’s ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ snatching four awards such as ‘Best Director’, ’Best Motion Picture’, ‘Best Original Score’ and ‘Best Screenplay’. Whilst a teary Boyle went to except his award, I don’t think he imagined it to do so well.
Even thought ‘Slumdog Millionaire’ took the most awards on the night, it was Aronofsky’s ‘The Wrestler’ which took two awards for ‘Best Actor’ (Mickey Rourke) and ‘Best Song’. I myself am a big Mickey Rourke fan ever since I saw him in Rodriguez/ Miller’s ‘Sin City’ (2005) and ‘Rumble Fish’ (1983), so it was fantastic to see him walk away with something. In the animation side, Pixar’s ‘Wall-E’ rightfully won ‘Best Animation’ whilst ‘Waltz With Bashir’ landed ‘Best Foreign Film’.
Now a few posts ago, I posted a blog talking about if Heath Ledger deserved an Oscar for his role as The Joker in Nolan’s ‘The Dark Knight’. Well whilst announcing the nominations for ‘Best Supporting Actor’, it was obvious to who would win it. A very deserving Heath Ledger won over Tom Cruise, Robert Downy Jr and Ralph Fiennes. Whilst Christopher Nolan went on stage to except Ledger’s award (even though it has been reported that the award will go to Matilda when she is old enough to understand it’s significant), Robert Downey Jr had a rather bitter look on his faced like he was surprised that Leger won. Christopher Nolan gave a brilliant acceptance speech that touched every one, even if he couldn’t stop looking at the Golden Globe.
Finally Kate Winslet won the most awards for herself with a grand total of two, you heard it two. After winning the second one Winslet was barely able to walk on stage and was breathless. You would have thought that after thirty wins and fifty nominations (awards over all) she would graciously walk on stage and say her thanks and be done with it but apparently she decided to make a fool of hear self. The two awards she won was ‘Best Actress’ for her performance in ‘Revolutionary Road’ and ‘Best Supporting Actress’ for ‘The Reader’. I would have thought Anjolina Jolie would have won ‘Best Actress’ for Clint Eastwood’s triumphant ‘Changling’, I mean two awards in on night share the love Kate.
