Best Supporting Actress

Nominees:

Cate Blanchett -- I'm Not There

Julia Roberts -- Charlie Wilson's War

Saoirse Ronan -- Atonement

Amy Ryan -- Gone Baby Gone

Tilda Swinton -- Michael Clayton

Predicted Winner: Amy Ryan

Gone Baby Gone had surprise written all over it. The first surprise was that Ben Affleck could direct. The second surprise is that Ryan's edgy, emotional performance as a morally mushy mom actually got noticed at the end of the year. The third surprise is that she could actually win. But it's no surprise that Ryan ("The Wire," Before the Devil Knows You're Dead) has been a rising star for some time.

Now it's your turn to vote ...

It's that time of the year again, and Cinematical is proud to present our annual live-blogging of the Golden Globes. The 64th Annual Golden Globe Awards will boast more than 50 presenters -- including folks like Steven Spielberg, George Clooney, Dustin Hoffman ... and John Stamos. Love to see Stamos making his comeback.

This year, NBC kicks off with the song I'm already sick to death of -- "One Night Only" from Dreamgirls ... the extra special club remix version. Thump. Thump. Brad Pitt. Will Smith. Thump. Thump. Right off the bat, George Clooney makes a funny and gives Leonardo DiCaprio the award for Best Supporting Actress, then pauses for required laughter and gives the Globe to Jennifer Hudson. Really?

Ryan accurately predicted Hudson's win, as well as the fact that Hudson would thank God. On second thought, who didn't she thank? There was crying, laughter, applause, a dedication (what more could you want?) and -- my favorite part -- it made her feel like part of the community. (Because everyone knows that each Globe winner must complete 37 hours of community service.)
