the golden globes are one of my favorite award shows. everyone eats, drinks, kibbitzes and has fun. it was at the golden globes that brad pitt after winning for "13 monkeys" thanked the hollywood foreign press for "this maalox moment". another year after winning for best supporting actor, ving rhames, insisted that co nominee jack lemmon deserved the award, made him come on stage with him and take his statue. and jack did it! all hijinx no one would dream of doing at the oscars. this is the warm up act, the rules don't apply.
this has been a particularly weak year. i am at least looking forward to an award season in which no one is a sure winner. we may just hear more than one name for each category called over and over and over to the podium. that would be a nice change.
my picks are:
best movie drama: the hurt locker
best movie comedy/musical: 500 days of summer
best director: kathryn bigelow for the hurt locker
best screenplay original: mark boal for the hurt locker
best screenplay adapted: nick hornby for an education
best actor drama: jeff bridges in crazy heart
best actor comedy/musical: joseph gordan -levitt in 500 days of summer
best actress drama: carey mulligan in an education
best actress comedy/musical: meryl streep in julie/julia
best supporting actor: christoph waltz in inglourious basterds
best supporting actress: anna kendrick in up in the air
best song: cinema italiano from nine
best documentary: my favorite wasn't nominated - it might get loud.
golden globes are on sunday, january 17, at 5, on nbc.
