The silly non-issue Golden Globes proved just how lame they are last night by not giving the Best Picture award to The Departed, and instead giving it to the over praised mediocre film “Babel”.
But we shouldn’t be surprised. Last year they gave the award to another over praised mediocre film. Brokeback Mountain. But I guess that’s what you get when only about 90 people are voting. Stupidity is hard to overcome with such small numbers and limited intellect.
So for those of you who may care, here are you 2007 Golden Globe winners:
Best Picture, Drama:
“Babel”

Helen Mirren, “The Queen”

It’s nice to see Sacha Baron Cohen getting some love for Borat, but i don’t expect that to carry over to the Oscars… but who knows, stranger things have happened.
