No surprises here really, except for Leonardo DiCaprio winning Best Actor in a Drama. I never thought they would give it to him… but seriously folks he deserved it. I hope he gets the Oscar over Jamie Foxx… really… he was THAT damn good in The Aviator. Here’s your list of movie category results from the show last night.

Congrats to Natalie Portman for her first among many to come major awards. This lady is going to be a force to be reconed with for a long long time.
I don’t see why one would be considered “racist” just because they voted Leo for the Academy honor as opposed to Gamey Soxx. This Jenna person seems to have a problem (either she is black or an extreme left-wing liberal white). If Ray is such a “genius”,why do we wait for him to die to bestow this and other accolades on him? Wise up people!
what if one only watched the aviator and not ray? :p
I dont think it’s being a racist Jenna, people just have their own reasons why they think that actor is better performance wise. If everybody has to agree that Jamie Foxx is the Best Actor for this year then that would really be blind and shallow, but no, not racist.
As for what you said, “Good acting isn’t about being good looking or witty or james deanish. it’s about capturing the character in a way that NO OTHER ACTOR can replicate”. The word I am thinking of is imitation, Jamie Foxx did a good imitation of Ray Charles. So maybe for that he deserved a Best Imitation award, oh, which also means a Best Actor in his case.
I think anyone who believes that Leonardo DeCaprior was a better actor than Jamie Fox this year is blisfully ignorant to what makes good acting. Good acting isn’t about being good looking or witty or james deanish. it’s about capturing the character in a way that NO OTHER ACTOR can replicate. Leonardo’s rendition of Howard Hughes–I am sorry to say, I could imagine other actor’s doing it just as good with proper research and coaching. Jamie Foxx’s rendition of Ray Charles–I thought I was watching the real Ray Charles.
Anyone who doesn’t see that, is blind, shallow or perhaps even subconsciously racist.
Oh you have to be happy for the 2 most likable people in that crowd last night. Jamie Fox and Natalie Portman. Natalie Portman looked so damn cute didn’t she?
an off topic request for the webmaster:
could you please dedicate an article on the new hddvd format? i have read news that paramount and warner bros. are releasing their 2005 movies and old films from their respectful extensive libraries on hddvd.
yet is it only me, cause i’ve never heard of this type of “hddvd” format before until now. what are the benefits and why is there a sudden need for it?
I am very happy with the results of theis year’s Golden Globes only with the exception of one thing, Jamie Foxx winning again for his role in “Ray”.
Leonardo di Caprio truly deserved his Best Actor. As for Natalie, I share John’s sentiments.
omg i cryed when jamie foxx won, i can’t not cry when a guy crys and it was very beautiful with robyn williams and i was really reall really happy when leo won best actor…that award is way over due..best looking goes to charlize theron and jim carrey. JOHNNY DEPP WILL WIN HIS AWARDS ONE YEAR BUT NOT FOR FINDING NEVERLAND.
I really thought Jamie Foxx would win Best Supporting for Collateral, but hey. It went to Clive Owen for Closer and I really can’t complain about that.
Kudos to Natalie Portman as well.
