And the Golden Globe goes to…
I updated my Golden Globe prediction list with the winners. I’ll probably do a fashion-related entry tomorrow when I’ve gotten around to seeing pictures of the actors/actresses.
I was very happy for Slumdog Millionaire, winning all of their categories! A surprise winner for me was Colin Farrell. Haven’t really heard that much from him lately, so I’m quite happy for him as well. He’s looking pretty spiffy again too; he really looks like he’s cleaned up himself.
Double congratulations to Kate Winslet! Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture AND Best Actress in a Motion Picture! Has that ever been done before? Well either way, really happy for her! She’s a great actress and I think the only reason I picked Anne Hathaway to win Best Actress is because she was the one creating buzz, and also there was that ‘typo’ asterisk next to her name on the Golden Globes site. That’s not to say she’s not a worthy actress; I mean, she’s gotten better since her Princess Diaries days.
Best Supporting Actor is no surprise - Heath Ledger, of course. I feel a bit sorry for those actors who are going to be nominated alongside Ledger for the Oscar (oh you know he’ll definitely be nominated! It was a great performance!) since it’s almost guaranteed that it’ll go to Heath.
Sally Hawkins won Best Actress in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy, for Happy Go Lucky, which I will have to rent as soon as it comes out on DVD. Masterpiecers might know her from the recent adaptation of Persuasion. Quite worried about her though. I don’t really criticize actresses for the smallest things but Sally looked like she might be experiencing anorexia; she was just so alarmingly thin!
So with GG down, I’m very much looking forward to the Oscar nominations announcement on January 22, 2009! Oh, and I’m oh so glad the lovely Hugh Jackman will be hosting this year’s Oscar Awards! I still can’t believe I met him and stood right in front of me *sighs*
