万花筒 2009-01-20&01-22 金球奖众星璀璨

The Golden Globe goes to, Slumdog Millionaire.

 

Slumdog Millionaire, about an orphan¹ who goes on India’s version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire won 4 for 4, winning best picture drama, plus score, screen play and directing honors.

 

 "The Globes just give us a platform, er, that presents the film to the world."

 

The night’s other top honor, best picture musical or comedy went to Woody Allen’s Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Comedy acting² honors went to Sally Hawkins for Happy Go Lucky and to In Bruges' leading man Collin Farrell.

 

"It’s nice to be told well done and get a smack³ at the back of the head. Sometimes a smack is needed, and, but a ‘well done’ is always lovely."

 

Hollywood loves the comeback story and they don't come much better than this—Mickey Rourke winning best actor drama for “The Wrestler”.

 

"I appreciate it a lot, because it's a profession where, you know, if you work hard enough, and many years go by, you can get a second chance."

 

Kate Winslet ended her Golden Globe drought in dramatic fashion by winning two awards, supporting actress for the holocaust⁴ film The Reader and best actress drama for Revolutionary Road, which re-teamed her with her Titanic⁵ friend Leonardo DiCaprio.

 

"Leo, I'm so happy I can stand here and tell you how much I love you, and how much I've loved you for 13 years."

 

And perhaps the night's most poignant⁶ moment came when the late Heath Ledger⁷ won for his memorable⁸ portrayal⁹ of the joker in The Dark knight¹⁰.

 

"He will be eternally missed, but he will never be forgotten."
