It happened guys! Jennifer Hudson won herself a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture. Now I just need her to win that damn Oscar! And how many did Miss Overexposed double nominee Beyonce win? Zero. Zilch. Nada. Not even the one she and her daddy were expecting to win, Best Original Song — which went to Prince, a no-show (at the time — he showed up later).
After all that talk of how you lost 20 pounds, worked with an acting coach for six months, how you've always dreamed of an Oscar since you were a little girl, how your first choreographer told you you were meant to play Deena, and how different you and Deena are from each other, you still walked away from the Golden Globes with egg all over your face.
Maybe she actually did win and they decided to change their minds at the last minute because she showed up looking like New York from Flavor of Love. This is the Golden Globes, honey, not the VMAs. You don't show up in a dress you bought from Drag Queens 'R' Us and ten different weaves in your damn head. Class it up a little.
Here's video of Jennifer's emotional speech. Girl had me cryin'.
Meryl Streep took the award for Best Lead Actress in a Comedy/Musical for her fantastic portrayal of Miranda Priestly (cough, Anna Wintour, cough) in the huge blockbuster hit The Devil Wears Prada, and ended her hilarious speech with her signature line from the movie, "That's all." Helen Mirren took the lead award in the drama category for her performance in The Queen, Forest Whitaker and Sacha Baron Cohen took the Best Lead Actor awards for Drama and Comedy/Musical respectively.
Whitaker was expected, and is expected to win the Oscar as well, and Cohen's only competition in the category was probably Ferrell or Eckhart, though both weak. This win gives Cohen better odds at nabbing an Oscar nomination, though the fact that he was snubbed at the SAG awards isn't a good sign. We'll see how it turns out.

"For whatever reason, the Globes were way up Babel's..."
Um, could it be that the Hollywood Foreign Press like films about foreign people in foreign lands?
btw, no one deserves an award.

Scorsese actually win Best Director.
3 - Ramon
er, *won*

Wow, thanks for the correction Ramon. I saw pictures of the Babel director accepting Best Picture and it confused me for whatever reason, despite seeing Scorcese accept an award. It should be fixed in the article shortly.

Did Jennifer Hudson thank American Idol in her speech?
She better have, because she would be NOTHING without AI.

JENNIFER HUDSON did her thing and im soooooooo proud of her she's a sister that going places and she doesn't need to waste her time thanking American Idol she was blessed with the talent they just displayed it on national television for their own personal benefit!

Jennifer doesn't need to "thank" American Idol, they get "thanked" by the large cut they take from her paychecks. AI owns these kids for the REST of their lives- the contract is ridiculous

Beyonce provided an excellent performance as usual. Her perfect voice for years has never ceased to amaze me.
Beyonce whether you won an oscar or not, you are talented and have proven yourself time and time again. You can look forward to many many more years of stardom.
