Golden Globe Winners

There were no real surprises, the winners had to win, the loosers will lose as it was meant to be. For the 100th time it seems that the people with most friends in Hollywood were bound to win. And that's okay. That's how it always looked like in the ultimate Dream Factory. And the viewers all around the world had a great opportunity to see all the latest fashions on the red carpet, something that we all will be re-living for the next couple of weeks, when we'll see all of them again on another red carpet watching the Oscars.
Nevertheless, Mel Gibson is out and running again, Tommy Lee Jones has been named the ultimate owner of the grumpy cat that has conquered the net (Jones being the only one in the audience that hasn't laughed once throughout the whole ceremony), Jodie Foster had her coming-out although the whole world already knew what's cookin' in her private life. She looked stunning by the way, getting her lifetime achievement Cecil B. DeMille award. Adele with her Globe high-fived super-cool Daniel Craig and was astonishingly normal. She's a Brit, that's why. The hostesses were really cool. Overall, a nice night to remember.
Oh, and Ben Affleck got awards too! Can't say I'm disappointed, because I liked "Argo", but it means that he will possibly be left out at the Oscars. Too bad.

Golden Globes 2013 Nominees

On December 13th 2012, exactly a month before the award ceremony, the nominees for the 2013 Golden Globes have been announced. The dates are important here, because the final ceremony will take place just two days before the nominees for Academy Awards are revealed.
Who has biggest chances of winning this year?
It seems that over the years the "who-got-the-most-nominations-must-be-likely-to-get-the-most-awards" predictor has lost its impact and importance. Nevertheless, Hollywood loves Steven Spielberg, and Daniel Day-Lewis as well, and when they both tell the story of one of the most beloved yet controversial politicians and presidents in the history of the United States - Abraham Lincoln, these 7 nominations seem like a good score. "Argo" and "Django Unchained" are close behind, with 5 nominations each, but it seems, that "Zero Dark Thirty" with 4 nominations (along "Les Miserables" and "Silver Linings Playbook") might end up as a dark horse of the race.
More from The New York Times, Los Angeles Times and on the official website.

Foster to get the Globe for lifetime achievement

Isn't it a little too early for Jodie Foster to be awarded the Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement at the next Golden Globe Gala? Perhaps it isn't since she has worked in film for 47 (!) years now, at the age of 50. She is  like the fourth youngest receiver of the award, only Judy Garland got it at the age of 39 (1962), Charlton Heston when he was 43 (1967) and Buddy Adler (producer) - 48 (1958).
Jodie Foster has been awarded two Oscars for best female performance, in "The Accused" in 1988 and "The Silence of the Lambs" in 1995. Now her career has been somewhat replaced by family life, but nevertheless she still appears in films. Her best roles include those in "Taxi Driver" (as a 14-year-old), "Nell," "Maverick," "Contact," "Panic Room," The Brave One" and, most recently, "Carnage" directed by Roman Polanski.
