The 2009 Golden Globe is well over, star is partying and the surprise is well formed.

Yesterday’s Golden Globe is a big surprise. All the usual suspect is shut down (well except for some)and the underdog becomes the biggest winner.
There’s surprise everywhere.
First Kate Winslet finally win something, and it’s a double whammy to say the least. Best Actress and Best Supporting for Drama at the same time for 2 different movies? That’s a first.
Of course it’s no surprise that Mickey Rouke win the Best Actor for drama. Actually there’s no surprise if any of them win cos everyone in the category is really great this year. The biggest surprise is that Sally Hawkins win for the Best Actress in Musical or comedy. Who’d have thought that a virtual unknown would win over such great as Meryl Streep. But….. that doesn’t mean that Happy-Go-Lucky is not a fantastic realistic and funny movie to watch. Our congratulation to a great start for this young actress.
However the funny thing is Colin Farrell win for the Best Actor for Comedy, never in a second that I’d thought that Colin is the material for comedy central. HAHA!
I personally love Burn After Reading, so Vicky Cristina Barcelona winning Best Comedy is a big let down for me, not that it’s not a good film, just that it’s more of a funny romantic to me that a comedy to me.
Wall-E another win for the biggest animation company around for Best Animation. And the winning for foreign movies comes down to an animation is a great gesture for the HFPA to acknowledge that even animation can be serious. But the war torn story Waltz With Bashir is far too close to reality at this moment.
Of course the best publicity and greatest present of 2009 all goes to Slumdog Millionaire, the real underdog turn dragon of the night. The Dog rises, Best Movie, best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Score, I guess the actor ensemble doesn’t matter much haha!!!! It is a great day for independence really.
Well, the night’s highlight to me is Bruce Springsteen win over Clint Eastwood HAHA! With the Original song for The Wrestler. HAHA! Bruce is the Clint Eastwood of Music.
Well, moving on to TV, it’s the fight for the best Comedy and Drama, like always when awards doesn’t really amount up to rating in this region. There’s no doubt that 30 rock will again Rock the whole Comedy central, winning almost every award there is for Comedy, Best Comedy Series, Best Actress in Comedy, Best Actor in Comedy. I guess they are heading for the Best Ensemble in SAG too.
In Drama, all bets are off, there’s so many new faces there you could hardly pick out one that’s bad. I love True Blood, it’s bold, and reckless, and I’d love Hugh Laurie take home another Globe, but… it is time for a new guy on the seat and who better to top it that the great Gabriel Bryne. Anna Paquin win for Best Actress in Drama is a surprise. The actress that actually got an Oscar now have a globe to go with it. And though I’m not a great fan of Mad Man, there’s no contest that it is a good drama. So the honor is suitable for Best Drama series. As for the rest of the fights is between the TV movies, in fact is the Dragon and Tiger fight for the 2 great political moment of our time. The formation of USA of the old and the new Recount of the Florida 2004 Election. Who can beat the fore father of the whole nation eh? HAHA! Of course John Adams take home the Best TV movie and Mini Series, the Bes Actress – Laura Linley (Always love her), Bes t Actors Paul Giamatti (The Strangely Talented), and the always modest and funniest, Tom Wilkinson for the Best Supporting. Recount only grab of the night is the Best supporting for Actress, Laura Dern, who I think is totally underrated since she drop out of scene with the Ellen incident, she is a fantastic actress.
Golden Globe is always the more modest and relax affair with the jokes of Gentleman and Ladies that makes up the night. No doubt there’s plenty of jokes flying around there. Sacha Baron Cohen take some sucker punch on Madonna, talking about people in the audience getting younger as they gets older like Benjamin Button (with the miracle of Botox of course), and commented the Economics slump effect on cinema and promote his movie seamlessly to the joke and the joke on Victoria Beckham figure and Charlie Sheen story. There’s Seth Rogen take on Mickey Rouke bad habit in the past. And Ricky Gervais take on Ghost Town not nominated as a sign that HFPA love him but not his film, and his suggestion to Kate to do a holocaust that really brought her the Best Supporting. And joke on how he tried to get one Globe with Sex favor for all the HFPA members HAHA!!
It is a great night. Always in the best color of Hollywood old time glamour. And last but not least, our fond memory will always be with the late Heath Ledger who takes the Best Supporting Actor. And of course the highest honor of the day, Cecile B. DeMille for Steven Spielberg.
