Golden Globes...yawn...
Actually watched the 1-hour press conference, there was nothing else on. Billy Bush and the blond have to be two of the dumbest people on the planet. I think my dog could give more insightful commentary.
So what did we get from the Golden Globes. It is important to know that nominations for the Oscars were due on Saturday at 5pm. One day before the Globes were announced. So these winners won't see any effect on the nominations. This realistically only affects Julian Schnabel as all the other winners should be locks to be nominated.
The Globes only cement my prediction from a couple of months ago that Atonement and Coen's will split Picture and Director. I just can't see the Academy honoring "bloody" films two years in a row but it is time to honor the Coen's and it is a very worthy picture. A win for Atonement will be the first time the Globes have picked the Oscar winner in 4 years (LotR:TRotK).
Leads are, and probably always have been, a 2 person race between the two winners. Personally I would vote for the Comedy/Musical winners. Cotillard is amazing but Christie probably has the momentum and will win. I have no idea between Day-Lewis/Depp. Both are equally great but DD-L already has a statue and this seems to be Depp's year with critical and popular films.
In supporting, Javier has had this locked up for a couple of months. But female could go anywhere. This is always the category where the Academy goes wild (remember Marisa Tomei, Mira Sorvino, & Anna Paquin) and likes to honor young and/or first time. This benefits Ronan, Ryan & Swinton over Blanchett. And the Oscars have to deviate from the Globes somewhere, don't they?
Hot Chicks Born Today
Emily Watson, 41, a big movie draw for me, favorites are: Breaking the Waves & Gosford Park
Angela Lindvall, 29, She was smoking hot in the film CQ, but for some reason she rarely looks that good in her modeling, one can still hope
