GOLDEN GLOBE RESULTS

Best Picture, Drama- BABEL. I have not seen this, and I won't until the DVD release on 2/20. From everything I have read about this, it seems as if critics and fans are split 50/50 on it. I am a big fan of Rodrigo Prieto's cinematography, so I am looking forward to it in that respect. I also have enjoyed Inarritu's previous films AMORES PERROS and 21 GRAMS. I was rooting for THE DEPARTED, it was by far the best picture I have seen this year.

Best Picture, Musical or Comedy- DREAMGIRLS. I liked this movie a lot, and I am glad that it took home the prize in this category. People have disagreed with me, but I liked it better than CHICAGO. Great performances all around and a killer soundtrack.

Best Director- Martin Scorsese. I hate it when best director and picture don't match up. It doesn't make sense to me. Director and picture go togehter like father/mother and child. Oh well, Marty won and that rocks. The Departed was an amazing film that was excellently executed. No deserves this as much as he does. Oscar, here he comes!

Best Actor, Drama- Forrest Whittaker in THE LAST KING OD SCOTLAND. Haven't seen it but from word of mouth and the trailer it looks good. I don't think it's playing anywhere around me, so I might have to wait this one out.

Best Actress, Drama- Helen Mirren for THE QUEEN. Haven't seen this yet either, but I will before the BIG night. Nothing but rave reviews from everyone talking about it.

Best Actor, Musical or Comedy- Sascha Baron Cohen for BORAT. Again, a film I dod not see in theatres and will have to wait for DVD. I am a big fan of the Borat skits and Ali G, etc. I hear he is in talks to c0star in SWEENEY TODD for Tim Burton. Funniest speech of the night.

Best Actress, Musical or Comedy- Meryl Streep for THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA. I liked this movie a lot. I thought it had one of the best casts of the year, lead by the glorious Meryl Streep. The greatest actress of our time. She was still thrilled to win, even after winning countless times before.

Best supporting actor- Eddie Murphy in DREAMGIRLS. Eddie was amazing in this. It's nice to see him get recognized after such an extensive body of work.

Best suppoerting actress- Jennifer Hudson in DREAMGIRLS. She should have been nominated for best actress. This was the performance of the year (of the films I saw).

Best Score- THE PAINTED VEIL. Haven't seen it, will probably catch it on DVD.

Foreign Film- LETTERS FROM IWO JIMA. Haven't seen it, but it's nice to see Clint get recognized...again.

Best Original Song- Prince for some song in HAPPY FEET. Cool, I like Prince.

Best animated film- CARS. My son says it rocks. Word.
