Pretty much, as one would recapitulate, the Brits have landed ashore at Hollywood and sunk that anchor deep down Golden Globes ground. Come February, they might start raiding Oscars, too. British Danny Boyle's pitch-perfect note of a movie, the Indian crowd-pleaser Slumdog Millionaire, banged the gong and triumphed with Best Motion Picture Drama, and deservedly so. Astonishingly, English rose, five-time Oscar-nominated Kate Winslet literally swept this awards arena with not just one, but two major acting awards, both Best Actress - Drama for her heartbreakingly-trapped dreamer April in Revolutionary Road and Best Supporting Actress - Drama for the dark romance Holocaust drama The Reader - who, in her own words, "not used to winning". (Does anybody know that this girl is from Reading, an unassuming, extraordinarily down-to-earth lass? How cool is this woman?!) She now goes down to history for winning two in a single Golden Globes awards night; the last one to do so was Sigourney Weaver for Gorillas in the Mist and Working Girl in 1989. And leaping right now is British actress Sally Hawkins for her adorable performance in Happy-Go-Lucky, grabbing the Best Actress - Musical or Comedy. Even Irish trash-mouthed Colin Farrell won a Best Actor - Musical or Comedy! Grace notes are Mickey Rourke winning Best Actor - Drama for The Wrestler, and another posthumous win for Heath Ledger for Best Supporting Actor for The Dark Knight, in which a subsequent standing ovation is a deeply felt one. One of the best highlights was Jennifer Lopez's hilarious rant, when everyone was busy clinking their wine glasses and chattering away: "Hellooo, hellooo, momma talkin', momma talkin." Lastly, Angelina Jolie of Changeling and Brad Pitt of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button might not have brought any trophies home with them - but aren't they trophies themselves already?
