Golden Globe Winners!
Filed under: Awards, Fandom, Newsstand
Here we are, folks. No televised ceremony. No red carpet. No Ryan Seacrest (Thank God!). Because of the writer's strike, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has decided to announce this year's Golden Globe Award winners via a press conference. We'll be posting the film-related winners below in real time, so keep refreshing the page ...
Award winners listed below ...
Biggest surprises? Not really. The Hollywood Foreign Press leaned heavily on the foreign nods, and I suppose the words "home-skillet" didn't hit, well, home with the HFPA. Is Atonement really the best film of the year? I feel like it's tricking a lot of people. What do you think?

Best Director

Joel Coen and Ethan Coen - No Country for Old Men
Julian Schnabel -- The Diving Bell and the Butterfly -- WINNER
Ridley Scott -- American Gangster
Joe Wright - Atonement
9:37PM: We get a comment that says Atonement already won best picture (drama). Are they not pausing for any sort of break overseas? Is this true? I watched Atonement over the weekend. Good film. Great shot. Everything else? Eh.
9:33PM: Go Extras! Love that show. But back to the film awards ... if they ever announce them.
9:32PM: From my friend on the couch: "This is the worst awards show in history. Easily. Easily."
9:28PM: Man, folks are really piling into Access Hollywood's "Interview Corner." They should make the dude from EW change outfits during commerical break just for the hell of it.
9:23PM: Bardem wins. Right f**king on! Bush: "For a Coen Brothers film, people are actually going to see it." We should have the option to meet Bush afterwards and throw things at him. And did one of the girls there actually say, "This is fun!" Fun how? What's fun about this?
Best Supporting Actor
Casey Affleck -- The Assassination of Jesse James
Javier Bardem - No Country for Old Men -- WINNER
Philip Seymour Hoffman -- Charlie Wilson's War
John Travolta - Hairspray
Tom Wikinson -- Michael Clayton
9:17PM: Call it the "We feel bad Persepolis got the Oscar shortlist nod, so here's us making up for it" award. However, for those who did not see La vie en Rose, Cotillard was pretty magnificent. Hollywood Foreign Press. Remember that.
Best Actress (Musical or Comedy)
Amy Adams - Enchanted
Nikki Blonski - Hairspray
Helena Bonham Carter - Sweeney Todd
Marion Cotillard -- La vie en Rose -- WINNER
Ellen Page -- Juno
9:15PM: Ugh. Billy Bush. Just shut him up, please. And did Blonsky go nuts, or what. Calm down there girl. It's a Golden Globe, not a touchdown. Speaking of ... Go Giants!
Best Animated Feature Film
Bee Movie
Ratatouille -- WINNER
The Simpsons Movie
9:13PM: Does anyone else wanna get jiggy to this techno music they're playing while annoucing the nominees for each category?
9:06PM: God, this is pathetic ... and so damn anticlimactic.
9:03PM: Amy Ryan got robbed. Billy Bush is shocked! His best quote: At the end of the day, it's just a woman pretending to be a man." Exactly Billy. You nailed it.
Best Supporting Actress
Cate Blanchett - I'm Not There -- WINNER
Julia Roberts - Charlie Wilson's War
Saoirse Ronan -- Atonement
Amy Ryan - Gone Baby Gone
Tilda Swinton - Michael Clayton
9PM: Wait, so are they really doing the "Live from (insert star's) hometown?" So this is what it would look like if Access Hollywood covered the Presidential election

Is it just me or are the Hollywood Foreign Press giving the awards to "overseas" actors rather than the US favourites like Amy Ryan and Ellen Page as a payback for not attending and ruining the awards.

This is painful. But Marty, there's no way that the critics could have known at the time of voting that the writer's strike would have this effect on the awards. Maybe it's because Cotillard was, you know, better than Page and Ryan.

dana, maybe, but I don't rule out last minuted vote rigging to make a statement. Really, is there any auditing done AFTER the awards are given out?

I put "The Wire" on pause for five minutes to check it out. That was enough for me. Ugh, so boring!

You guys must be watching a delayed feed...
Atonement already won best feature drama! I guess they're pausing it for adverts in america! Didn't do that here.

TV Guide was doing a live show. They already announced all the awards. So you're on a delayed schedule with NBC.

good to see some respect for the brilliant comedy minds that are stephen merchant and ricky gervais. Extras had a great story arc in just TWO six-episode seasons and the series finale was just about as tear-jerking as anything ive watched on television. Hate to see it go but Gervais realizes what happens to a novel idea that is stretched far too thin.

Yeah, I thought they'd be showing the actual press conference on NBC, once I heard TV Guide channel was showing the actual thing, I went there.
All I can say is, you guys are watching the better thing. The press conference was HORRIBLE.

I think I like this better than a long, boring awards show with inflated ego speeches!

How the heck did Atonement beat out No Country and TWBB?

Okay, this is the final straw.
BRING BACK OUR WRITERS!
Also, I have to say that I disagreed with most all the winners. Atonement is overrated. Amy Ryan lost. Juno didn't get anything... this was terrible.

As I said in an earlier post, I noticed a bias to overseas winners when Coutillard and Blanchett won over faves Page and Ryan. The "bias" to overseas people continued with Julian Schnabel and Atonement. Bardem, Christie and Lewis are overseas actors but they were favourites to win so would have won anyway so no bias counts there. The HFPA stuck up to the US-based artists! Serves them right for striking!

Marion Cottiliard did a great performance and deserved the award. I don't care if she is French, American or anything else
