Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie may not have emerged as winners of the Golden Globes Awards for their movies Babel and The Good Shepherd respectively, but sure was fiery hell in the red carpet when this smashing couple turned up as the best dressed celebrities of the night. This was also their first appearance as a couple in an awarding ceremony.Babel and Dreamgirls conquered the Globes, grabbing the the 2 top prizes, Best Picture (Drama) for Babel and Best Picture (Comedy or Musical) for Dreamgirls. Even though I haven't watched the live coverage, I am still updated with a lot of events. Veteran Helen Mirren from the movie The Queen accepted the Best Actress for Drama with a humble quote for Queen Elizabeth "as people fell in love with the character, maybe not me". And great actress Meryl Streep still knows how to keep her feet in the ground while she accepted the Best Actress for Comedy or Musical for The Devil Wears Prada, referring to her co-nominees as "gals" and still felt thankful even though she already bagged 6 Golden Globes. But the biggest surprise of the night was when up-and-coming novice actress and former American-Idol superstar Jennifer Hudson seized the Best Supporting Actress nod in a Comedy or Musical for Dreamgirls. She even delivered the most heartfelt speech of the night. And on TV, I just adore America Ferrera for winning as Best Actress in a Comedy Series for Ugly Betty. Damn, everyone was crying when she spoke those words about "inner beauty". Grey's Anatomy, however, won Best Drama Series. Good. So much for 24.
So much for my rumblings. Here's the winners, to keep me silent.
Winners are in BLUE.
