Golden Globe Winners
by Wild About Movies

Golden Globe winner Clint Eastwood in a scene from Million Dollar BabyMonday, January 17 - Sunday night, (January 16th), got off to a surprise start at The Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, with Clive Owen and Natalie Portman winning Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress In A Motion Picture, that picture being Closer – a film that very few people have paid to see at theaters since its release last fall by Sony Pictures.

Annette Bening won Best Actress In A Motion Picture Comedy for Being Julia.

The Best Foreign Film Golden Globe went to Spain’s The Sea Inside.

The Best Screenplay Golden Globe went to Sideways.

Best Original Score went to The Aviator

Best Original Song went to Old Habits Die Hard from Alfie, written and performed by Mick Jagger & Dave Stewart. (Stay tuned for WildAboutMovies’ exclusive interview with Mick Jagger).

The Best Director Golden Globe went to Clint Eastwood for Million Dollar Baby.

Jamie Foxx won the Best Actor Golden Globe for a Musical/Comedy for his portrayal of Ray Charles in Ray.

Leonardo DiCaprio who won the Best Actor Drama Golden Globe for The Aviator is now all but clinched an Academy Award nomination as well for his portrayal of Howard Hughes.

And Hilary Swank is on her way to winning her second Best Actress Oscar now that she has garnered the Best Actress Drama Golden Globe Award for her amazing role in Million Dollar Baby.

The Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture Comedy went to Sideways – and the overall Best Picture, which the Golden Globes bestow upon a Drama each year, went to The Aviator.

Although he did not win for a movie role this year, Star Trek icon, William Shatner, won Best Supporting Actor In A Television Show, for Boston Legal.

This is the first year, however, when all completed ballots for Academy Awards will have been sent in by voters before The Golden Globes were televised. In the past, it was said the Golden Globe Awards were a precurser to who would win an Oscar. Will it now mean the outcomes will be largely different? It has been said that Academy voters, the more than 5,000, (opposed to less than 200 who vote in the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for The Golden Globes), had been a bit biased and/or jaded, if you will, after watching the Globes – perhaps voting for those winners in years past.
