If you love movies or catch up on the best of today’s television series, then you may know that last Sunday night was the 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards, or as Ricky Gervais called it, “the Kim Kardashian to the Oscars’ Kate Middleton.” Sadly, I must agree with him; this year’s award ceremony wasn’t special or memorable at all, it was strictly to the point and all about the actual award.Best Director for Motion Picture – Martin Scorcese for “Hugo.”
Best Animated Feature Film – “The Adventures of Tintin.” Steven Speilberg came to collect for colleague Peter Jackson and himself and gave a nice, short speech, but he didn’t seem to be the least bit excited that his movie was the first ever to beat out a Pixar animation.
Best Actress in Motion Picture: Comedy/Musical – Michelle Williams for “My Week with Marilyn.”
Best Actor in Motion Picture: Comedy/Musical – Jean Dujardin for “The Artist.”
Best Motion Picture: Comedy/Musical – “The Artist.” They probably had the best acceptance speech without ever saying a word; they just played a few tricks with their canine co-star.
Best Actress in Motion Picture: Drama – Meryl Streep for“The Iron Lady.” It was well deserved, and Streep was funny, but was she really so surprised to win yet another Golden Globe? Seriously, she wins one every year.
Best Actor in Motion Picture: Drama – George Clooney for “The Descendants.”
Best Supporting Actress in Motion Picture: Drama – Octavia Spencer for “The Help.”
Best Supporting Actor in Motion Picture: Drama – Christopher Plummer for “Beginners.”
Best Motion Picture: Drama – “The Descendants.”
For the categories in television:
Best Actress in TV Series: Comedy/Musical – Laura Dern for “Enlightened.”
Best Actor in TV Series: Comedy/Musical – Matt Le Blanc for “Episodes.” Is it fair for someone to win an acting award for playing themselves?
Best TV Series: Comedy/Musical – “Modern Family.” This was the most obvious win, so much that the cast had time to rehearse an elaborate acceptance speech.
Best Actress in TV Series: Drama – Claire Danes for “Homeland.” It seems only the blond actresses have episodes of violent hyperventilation.
Best Actor in TV Series: Drama – Kelsey Grammer for“Boss,” who couldn’t be less excited for finally leaving the name of Fraiser behind.
Best TV Series: Drama – “Homeland.” This was one of the Golden Globes’ few deserving wins.
Best Actress in Miniseries/TV Movie – Kate Winslet for “Mildred Pierce”, hyperventilating like she always does, which is strange because this was another obvious win.
Best Actor in Miniseries/TV Movie – Idris Elba for “Luther.”
Best Supporting Actress in TV Series/Miniseries/TV Movie – Jessica Lange for “American Horror Story.”
Best Supporting Actor in TV Series/Miniseries/TV Movie – Peter Dinklage for “Game Of Thrones,” another deserving win.

Tintin shouldn’t have won best animated film, let alone even get a nomination. Motion capture is not animation.

I find it a huge problem that Breaking Bad didn’t win best drama, let alone even be nominated. That is the best show I have ever seen, and while Boardwalk Empire, Game of Thrones, and Homeland are all great shows, Breaking Bad should have won. I’ll admit I’m still a few episodes behind on Homeland, but that show isn’t better than Game of Thrones or Boardwalk Empire in my opinion. Same for Bryan Cranston for best actor. The only wins I agree with are Claire Danes and Peter Dinklage.
