Golden Globe Winners

Can I just say, WHOA!

Boy, I am very pleasently suprised here. Some major upsets here, and whats shocking is that they're in two of the biggest catagories.

Well let's start with Mickey Rourke winning for The Wrestler. I just saw this movie last night and thought to myself that he was just as good as Sean Penn, the major Frontrunner. This probably means the most for the Oscars, since they've both been running neck and neck for the past few weeks. Now the ball is really up in the air.

And Kate Winslet! Not one, but two awards! And can I just say, good for her -- its about time. Well I loved her in "Revolutionary Road" and think she is definately deserving of this award. In all honesty, I don't think that this will repeat at the oscars (though a win for "The Reader" might), but this means a lot for the film itself. It could easily go along for the ride and get noms for quite a few catagories -- now it has a shot at Best Picture, Actor, Supporting Actor, Director, Screenplay, and of course Best Actress.
And on the matter, Sally Hawkins' win will definately get her a nom.

Tina Fey's made me laugh so hard I think I almost cried. For those of you who didn't see it, she told every celebrity gossip site that has said shit about her for the past year to suck it. It was just brilliant.

All in all, a pretty good night, though my biggest complaint was that none of the speeches (other than Tina's) were very good.

What did you think?
