Golden Globe Award Winners

On an extremely rainy night in southern California, the 67th Golden Globe Awards were  presented in film and tv. Upsetting to most, happily for some, AVATAR and James Cameron were the big winners with the top honors in Best Picture Drama  and Best Director. Unfortunately THE HURT LOCKER and Kathryn Bigelow went home with zilch, nada, zippo, something I think Academy Voters will set to rights on Oscar Night.  Coming up next  in this year’s  Awards Season is the Screen Actors Guild Awards show on Saturday on TBS.

As was expected,  Jeff Bridges, Sandra Bullock, Meryl Streep, Robert Downey Jr., Mo’Nique, and Christoph Waltz took home the Golden Globe in the acting categories. THE HANGOVER won Best Motion Picture – Comedy.

Here’s a list of the winners in the film categories:

• Best Motion Picture – Drama:   AVATAR

Plus, if you didn’t see the show, have a  gander at the moment of the night – the ultimate montage to the  great Martin Scorsese, this year’s recipient of the  Cecil B. DeMille Award…  

The Globes are handed out by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association which is made up of about 90  to 100  reporters who report on entertainment news all over the world. If you’re so inclined, here’s the list of their members.
