Golden Globes — Page 5

Woohoo! I love Robin Williams!

YES HOUSEWIVES WON!!!!!!!!! YESSSSSSS!

What was that about Sideways, Sum?

Does anyone else think Leonardo looks hot.
WHEW!

Watching the clips shown throughout the night, I definitely don't want Million Dollar Baby to win the Best Picture Oscar now. Big problems with the generic writing here. Best of luck to The Aviator, Kinsey and - to a lesser extent - Sideways and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind at the Oscars!

I loved Million Dollar Baby. But I'm probably just ignorant.

"I loved Million Dollar Baby. But I'm probably just ignorant. "

Oh shut up. Get over my knocking you in that other thread. I think we AGREED on most points!

I really wanted Johnny Depp to win, but I kind of knew he wasn't going to. I was hoping he would win the Golden Globe, and then Leo would win the Oscar. Obviously that is not the case. I was really rooting for Ray, and not Sideways... but oh well.
The most disappointing part was the Best Song... I really thought JOSH GROBAN was going to win for BELIEVE.
I hope Kate Winslet wins for "Finding Neverland".
YAY YAY YAY for Howard Shore and the Aviator. 4 years, and I hope he wins the Oscar. I consider him to be the Mozart of our time.

I said it before the Globes, and I'm repeating it now: Johnny Depp should not have been nominated. As he has proved many times before, he is one of the most interesting and creative actors in Hollywood. I'm sorry, but his work in "Finding Neverland" was utterly uninspired, and IMHO, completely unworthy of awards attention.

That being said, I'm happy for DiCaprio, Foxx, Bening, "The Aviator" and "Sideways".

I am upset that the following people lost:

David Carradine - he gave one of the best performances of 2004, but seriously... What were the odds?

Cate Blanchett - hopefully she'll win the Oscar.

Imelda Staunton - a complex and brilliant performance, although Swank was very good.

Scorsese - as with Blanchett, hopefully the AMPAS will honor them.

As someone who really doesn't understand the concept of comparing creative endeavors, my interest in these types of affairs is somewhat different. I'm always fascinated to see how other artists present themselves, especially in an environment where they're all thrown together.

I really appreciated Mr. Foxx's sincerity and seemingly genuine emotion, and Mr. Williams entertained as expected - and brought it back to reality with his dedication to Mr. Reeve, which was also expected. Ms. Benning seems to be a woman of much grace, and I was amazed to watch Ms. Swank address her fellow creators with such focus and intent.

On a purely superficial level, I thought Glenn Close looked magnificent, and if I were a straight man, I can't imagine having many needs that Ms. Hatcher couldn't meet. While I didn't appreciate The Phantom of the Opera in general, or Ms. Rossum's performance in it, I really was taken by her presentation on the red carpet - very self-possessed and assured, with a hint of Audrey Hepburn's grace. And Cate Blanchett is my answer to people who say they don't make them like they used to.

On the purient level, Johnny Depp continues to intrigue, Pierce Brosnan is a walking advertisement for finely aged beef, and I would pay money to have been the toothpick in Liam Neeson's mouth. And, no Corrine, you're not the only one who thought Leo was hot.

Johnny Depp gets Fuc*ing robbed again! And Jim Carrey gets overlooked for his best work ever. F*ck the Golden Globes!

Sorry to all of those rooting for Finding Neverland, but I think that at this point, its best hope is Original Score - for which Clint Eastwood could give it a run for the money if AMPAAS decides to honor The Aviator in the director and picture categories and offer Eastwood score as a consolation prize.

"I would pay money to have been the toothpick in Liam Neeson's mouth."

This is gross.

"And Jim Carrey gets overlooked for his best work ever."

He wasn't overlooked. The nomination was his award. Sorry, this is Foxx's year.
