A night of lucid Hollywood glitz, the 64th Annual
Golden Globes premiered Jan. 15 with a series of phenomenal wins. British actor
Ricky Gervais hosted the TV and movie event with an emphasis on festive humor and
boisterous entertainment. Announcing the awards were celebrities such as
Natalie Portman, Gerard Butler, and Jane Lynch.
The Golden Globes features categories in TV and motion
pictures. This year’s winners included legends such as Kate Winslet, who received
her second win out of eight nominations for her HBO show Mildred Pierce; infamous
George Clooney for his role in The Descendants, taking home best actor with
much swag; and Meryl Streep who, in a jolt of shock, welcomed her eighth win
out of twenty-six nominations for her
astounding act in The Iron Lady.
Some other winners included The Artist for best comedy or
musical, Martin Scorsese (“Hugo”) for best director, Midnight in Paris for
best screenplay, and Madonna’s “Masterpiece” from W.E. for best original
song.
During the glamorous event, a tribute was made to humble
actor Morgan Freeman, who thanked his friends and family with heartfelt humor
and inspiring words as they praised his movies throughout the years. When the
cast of The Artist ascended the stage to congratulate themselves on their award,
an adorable canine named Uggie followed in their footsteps.
Essentially the Golden Globes were fabulous and funny with
juicy fashions from Vera Wang to Prada. Along with this fresh start in entertainment,
a road was paved to the upcoming 84th Academy Awards, which premieres Feb. 26.
