Nice Globes!

The Golden Globes were on last night, and as per usual we had a little "contest" to see who could pick the most winners. I previously posted my handicaps for the event, but I didn't use that as a guide when making my last minute picks yesterday. I wound up in a tie for first place with Noele with 7 right out of 24 categories. Yikes. That is horrible. I'll blame my lack of success on the following: I was drinking all day watching my beloved Eagles soar high over the Vikings, I was pressed for time as I arrived home 15 minutes prior to showtime and I haven't seen many of the nominated films yet. (The Golden Globes used to be in February, this accelerated awards season is reeking havoc on my schedule.) I plan on seeing Million Dollar Baby, Hotel Rwanda and A Very Long Engagement before February...so I'll be sure to be more prepared come Oscar time.

Below is a recap of who I boosted WOULD win and who DID win last night.

Best Picture, Drama: I said Finding Neverland will win, but Aviator took the prize. Ugh. I hate Scorcese. He's the worst.

Actress, Drama: I picked Imelda Staunton. Hilary Swank won. I was way off. Good to see Hilary back on top though....but man is Chad Lowe a pussy or what? Get a job dude.

Actor, Drama: I had Depp winning by a nose on the blog and in my panic last night I went with Javier Bardem, but Nooooo, fucking Leo won. I am starting to think I need to see this Aviator movie, but it just looks so fucking boring to me.

Picture, Musical or Comedy: Thankfully Sideways won. I would have preferred Eternal Sunshine, but I'll take it. I picked The Incredibles here last month. Again, way off. Maybe the foriegn press is like me....sick of PIXAR movies.

Actress, Musical or Comedy: "Winslet is amazing, but the Zellwegger can't lose. They love her. (Keep an eye on Bening...)" this was my take on this category last month....TOLD YOU SO. Bening won for a movie that NO ONE, and I do mean NO ONE saw.

Actor, Musical or Comedy: Yeah!!! I had one right. Good work Mr. Foxx and great speech. I cried. I laughed. This dude is talented.

Foreign Language: The Sea Inside won. I was off with Flying Daggers. (I saw Daggers after I predicted it would win and it wasn't that good. Shame on me.)

Supporting Actress: "Portman was a bright spot in Closer for me, but Madsen was resurrected in Sideways. Virginia all the way." Again I was wrong, but I was kind of right. Yeah Natalie!

Supporting Actor: "Clive Owen was another bright spot in Closer and was able to go from nice guy, to prick, to down and out flawlessly, but Thomas Haden Church was just too fucking funny not to win this one." Wrong again, but I praised the rightful winner again. My homo crush Clive looked dashing by the way.

Director: Clint Eastwood, "Million Dollar Baby" won, I had Forster. Oh well.

Screenplay: "For me, Sunshine and Sideways are a toss up. Kaufman has the edge." So close....Sideways won.

TV

Drama Series: Nip/Tuck? I don't even get FX. I had Lost.

Actress, Drama Series: I had Jennifer Garner, but Mariska Hagarty won from Law and Order. Man she looked hot too. I guess Elektra bombing this weekend made it a shitty time all around for Jenny.


Actor, Drama Series: Spader was robbed. Ian Fucking McShane? Who are you? Deadwood? Who watches that junk.

Series, Musical or Comedy: "Arrested Development is the funniest show on TV right now. Fuck those Desperate Housewives. I'm already sick of the hype." Does this count as half-right? The new Sex and the City....GREAT!

Actress, Musical or Comedy: Who cares? I had Sara Jessica....but Teri Hatcher won. She was good in those Radio Shack commericals. I'll give her that.

Actor, Musical or Comedy:Another one right!!!! "Incredibly hard choice between Larry David and Jason Bateman for me. I think I'll go with Bateman." Awesome!! It's Your Move was his best work, but man Arrested Development is hilarious.

Supporting Actress, Miniseries, Movie or Series: Drea de Matteo was my choice, Angelica Houston won. Guess the voters are watching Joey...

Supporting Actor, Miniseries, Movie or Series: "Jeremy Piven and the Shat are both incredible. Make this one a tie. Pretty please." Wasn't a tie, but the Shat did win.

So there you have it. My predications examined and exposed. I'm not perfect. I'll do better at the Oscars. Trust me.
