Well, the Golden Globes have come and gone for yet another year. The Globes are generally a good predictor for the Academy will choose for the Oscars. And we have a pretty eclectic group this year. It probably reflects the diversity and brilliant movie-making of this year as we move into the second decade of the 21st century.
Of the ceremony, it was your normal affair, with the best speech coming from Robert Downey Jr., who won for “Sherlock Holmes”. The other difference was out of character awards ceremonies, an incredibly funny host, Ricky Gervais. While Neil Patrick Harris’ hosting performance at the Emmy’s was brilliant, Ricky Gervais was probably the funniest host I’ve seen. Announcing Mel Gibson by saying “I love a drink as much as the next guy, unless the next guy is Mel Gibson” who, god bless him, carried on with a straight face. But his monologue was great as well.
