2008 Golden Globe Winners
By 9:30 last night, we knew who all of the Golden Globe winners were. Yes, even the TV awards winners. I haven’t watched the Globes in years, so I’m glad I didn’t have to wait to see the winners get posted on a blog at 11 p.m.
But take a look at this list. The HFPA gets more boring every year now that they are the LAST critics group to chime in on awards season. Sure, they gave their Best Picture to Atonement, but it’s a film the HFPA always picks. As for the acting awards, no surprises. Christie, Cotillard, Day-Lewis, Depp. Blah. Yes, the Globes get less interesting every year, while ever other critics group, specifically the BFCA Critics Choice Awards, get more fun and more unpredictable.
