Black Swan, The Fighter. The Social Network, Colin Firth, Glee and Boardwalk Empire all have a good night at the Golden Globes. Here’s the full list of winners…
The Golden Globes have traditionally, as you probably know, been considered a forerunner for the Oscars, and this year’s gongs were handed out overnight.
For us, and for many, the process, particularly on the movie side, had already been tempered somewhat by the nominations. Burlesque, for instance, found itself up for one of the two Best Picture categories, while Johnny Depp’s dual nomination for his acting in Alice In Wonderland and The Tourist left many thinking that it was just celebrity pandering that determined many of the categories.
Still, if you are looking for Oscar clues, then mark Colin Firth down as the forerunner for the Best Actor Oscar, having beaten the strongly-favoured James Franco, while Natalie Portman and Annette Bening are rightly the forerunners for Best Actress now.
As for Best Picture? Then it might just be down to The Social Network vs Black Swan. But The Social Network is surely the clear favourite.
On the television side, Boardwalk Empire overcame many of its critics to be a big winner, but it was Glee that managed to sweep away a sizeable number of gongs.
