The Golden Globes Awards are obviously to be taken with a grain of salt. The majority of the people, films and shows that I wanted to win did win.
Bravo for all the awards for "Angels In America". I think the proper people won for that. Jeffrey Wright and Mary Louise Parker were fantastic. However, I hate how the Globes lump together all TV supporting performances into one category. It's really not fair to the series television actors.
So so happy that Frances Conroy won for "Six Feet Under". She's makes that character so incredibly unique and believable. I would have like to see someone other than Sarah Jessica Parker win for Best Actress Comedy. Love Sarah, but had won it three times prior. It's great that "24" won Best TV Drama. It's a truly original series.
"The Office's" wins were a big surprise for winning comedic actor and comedy series, but not really. The Globes tend to give awards to those shows or people with buzz. For instance - it gives out awards to actors on show for the debut season (Jennifer Garner winning for "Alias" two years ago, and the annoying guy from "The Shield" winning that shows first season).
Sean Penn winning for "Mystic River" was perfect. He deserved it. As did Charlize Theron for "Monster"; an utterly disturbing film. She should win the Oscar, she was that good.
It was great to see Peter Jackson winning best director for "Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King". Sophia Coppola deserved the Best Screenplay award for "Lost in Translation". And fittingly so, their films won Best Comedy and Drama respectively.
The speeches:
Meryl had a fantastic speech. Bill Murray was perfectly dry and sarcastic. I loved that Mary Louise Parker mentioned the $1000 bet about her boobs. Al Pacino was annoying. I thought it was odd that Diane Keaton read her written speech.
Most awkward moment was when Nicole Kidman had to read off Tom Cruise's name when she presented the nominations for Best Actor.
Until next year.
