2011 Golden Globes: THE SOCIAL NETWORK Wins Big
The Social Network slaughtered the competition at last night's Golden Globes Awards Ceremony - taking him the gongs for Best Picture (Drama), Best Screenplay (Aaron Sorkin), Best Director (David Fincher) & Best Score (Reznor & Ross). There's now very little in the way of the Facebook creation movie about friendship, betrayal and the world's youngest billionaire from taking home the majority of the Oscars next month. Winning Best Picture Musical or Comedy was the family drama The Kids Are All Right (the only respectable film in that category) and veteran Annette Benning took home the Best Actress Award for that genre and film. Natalie Portman, of course, won Best Actress Motion Drama for Black Swan and will beat Benning to the Oscar next month. Colin Firth won Best Actor in Motion Picture Drama for The King's Speech whilst it was nice to see Paul Giamatti winning Best Actor Musical or Comedy for Barney's Version, beating out Johnny Depp twice (Alice in Wonderland, The Tourist). Could Giamatti make a last ditch Oscar push? Probably not. Meanwhile the Best Supporting Actor nods both went to The Fighter's Melissa Leo and Christian Bale - who both look strong for Oscar contention. In fact, the whole of the Awards ceremony played out exactly like everyone expected it to. They might as well host the Oscars nominations tomorrow and the event itself on Sunday as they seems to be no surprises on the horizon. The Awards season feels done. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hltptAG_wM Full Winners & Losers; Best Picture - Drama Winner: The Social Network Black Swan The Fighter Inception The Kings Speech Best Motion Picture - Musical or ComedyWinner: The Kids Are All Right Alice in Wonderland Burlesque Red The Tourist Best Actor in a Motion Picture - Drama Winner: Colin Firth, The Kings Speech Jesse Eisenberg, The Social Network James Franco, 127 Hours Ryan Gosling, Blue Valentine Mark Wahlberg, The Fighter Best Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama Winner: Natalie Portman, Black Swan Halle Berry, Frankie and Alice Nicole Kidman, Rabbit Hole Jennifer Lawrence, Winters Bone Michelle Williams, Blue Valentine Best Actor in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy Winner: Paul Giamatti, Barneys Version Johnny Depp, Alice in Wonderland Johnny Depp, The Tourist Jake Gyllenhaal, Love and Other Drugs Kevin Spacey, Casino Jack Best Actress in a Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy Winner: Annette Bening, The Kids Are All Right Anne Hathaway, Love and Other Drugs Angelina Jolie, The Tourist Emma Stone, Easy A Julianne Moore, The Kids Are All Right Best Supporting Actress Winner: Melissa Leo, The Fighter Amy Adams, The Fighter Helena Bonham Carter, The Kings Speech Mila Kunis, Black Swan Jacki Weaver, Animal Kingdom Best Supporting Actor Winner: Christian Bale, The Fighter Michael Douglas, Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps Andrew Garfield, The Social Network Jeremy Renner, The Town Geoffrey Rush, The Kings Speech Best Director Winner: David Fincher, The Social Network Darren Aronofsky, Black Swan Tom Hooper, The Kings Speech Christopher Nolan, Inception David O.
