... Two pleasant surprises for me, Mario Bello for best actress (I've been saying how good she was in History of Violence) and Michelle Williams for Brokeback Mountain (my favorite Dawson's Creek alum.)

One disappointment: nothing for Shopgirl. Claire Danes deserved a nod.

As you can see I'm a big supporter of Brokeback Mountain. We'll see what transpires.

I find it interesting that "Munich" was not in the list of "Best Picture" nominees. I haven't seen it yet ... or maybe it's political and too controversial ...

I'm a little surprized no one has posted anything yet on the Golden Globes. Did anyone else watch it?

I loved Steve Carell's speech.

I didn't really watch as much as I just listened when I could... and I must have missed Carell's speech...

Thanks for taking the time to post the winners Sammy....and to Lance for creating this in the first place.

Caity...Steve Carell read a speech that supposedly his wife wrote for him because he was too busy to come up with one. The way he delivered it was pretty funny. In his speech he thanked his wife at least four different times with basically acknowledging the difference she made in his life and the sacrifices she made for him...and ended with something to the tune of "And finally, to the love of my life...". Smart man.


Reese Witherspoon was a doll too.

.....


Susan...I know what you mean. Some things were disappointing. I started popping back and forth between the Golden Globes and the Lincoln documentary on the History channel. After awhile my watching the GG's grew less and less and I grew more interested in Abe and lingered longer with him.

Does anybody know who/what movie has the most "Best Picture" film festival awards??? If not, how would we find out???

oh annie, i forgot lincoln was on or i would have watched it...thanks for reminding me...

steve's speech was really funny and i liked joaquin phoenix's line too...

Very happy that Lost took the globe for best TV Drama.

Thanks Sammy for posting the winners
