The silent Black & white movie "The Artist" walked away with 3 awards out of its 6 nominations, folllowed by "The Descendants" which won 2 globes.. Though the Best Director was touted to be awarded to "The Artist", tonite's awards proved everyone wrong. Atleast for me, I thought Alexander Payne had more chances of winning. But still, I'm happy for Scorcese !! Just look at him.. Two years back, he proved to the world that he can make spine chilling thrillers like "Shutter Island" and now he has proved that he is good at making 3D adventure dramas.. That too at the age of 69!!
Woody Allen might be aging but his ideas never age. At 76, he is still able to create great stories and win awards. He is definitely my biggest inspiration. Meryl Streep won the coveted "Best Actress" for her performance as Margaret Thatcher in "The Iron Lady". This is her 8th Golden Globe win out of her 25 nominations ! Wow !!
Michelle Williams's portrayal as Marilyn Monroe won her the Best Actress Award for a Comedy / Musical movie. Definitely one of the best performances this year. Steven Spielberg is a specialist in whatever genre he directs. Though Tintin deserved it, I believe Rio was way better than "Arthur's Christmas". Sad, that it couldn't even earn itself a nomination.
Jean Dujardin has high chances of winning the Oscar for Best Acting, having already won the Golden Globes and the Cannes award. Though I liked Madonna's track, I suppose the Alfred Nobbs track deserved better. You can never predict who will win. Sometimes the winners deserve.. Sometimes it feels like they don't even stand a chance. Likewise Hugo's OST was the best in the category. But the thing is, it is finally the jury's choice. Sometimes they like "Techno" (The Social Network), sometimes "Old French music" (The Artist), sometimes "Broadway style" (Moulin Rouge).
FYI, Moulin Rouge was picked from a list which had "Pearl Harbor" and "A beautiful mind" !! WTF !!
Well overall the awards matched most of the expectations except a few surprises here and there. Ricky Gervais proves again that the Organizers are inefficient in picking the right host. I didn't find much humour in his speech. Hope he doesn't think he is funny. Definitely not. Hosting a show with a bad attitude and simply running around with a wine glass is not entertaining.
Ricky stop dreaming.. Snap out of it !!
Lets wait until January 24th. Expecting new names for the Best Picture & Best Director Academy Award nominations..
