Instant Reaction: Golden Globes

Borat! Betty! ...Babel?!

Είχε πολλά χαριτωμένα η απονομή, πρακτικά χειροκρόταγα μπροστά στο PC μου για τη νίκη του Cohen (και ακούω πως ο λόγος του ήταν ξεκαρδιστικός-- όχι οτι θα περίμενα κάτι λιγότερο), άντε με το καλό υποψήφιος για Όσκαρ. Να το δω κι αυτό... Ο Marty σήκωσε ένα ακόμα βραβείο σκηνοθεσίας, η Mirren έκανε το αναμενόμενο διπλό, ο Whitaker πήρε άλλο ένα βραβείο στο δρόμο για το Μεγάλο, η θεά Emily Blunt μαζί με τον θεό Bill Nighy έδωσαν δύο βραβεία στο Gideon's Daughter που θα πρέπει να δω A.S.A.P., η Jennifer Hudson του American Idol πήρε (σαν τους Mirren & Whitaker) άλλη μια τυπική βράβευση που οδηγεί στο αναπόφευκτο, σε ένα από τα 3 βραβεία του Dreamgirls για τη βραδιά (Eddie Murphy και Καλύτερη Ταινία- Κωμωδία ή Μιούζικαλ τα άλλα δύο), το Letters From Iwo Jima στην Ξενόγλωσση κατηγορία αποτέλεσε την Υποχρεωτική Βράβευση του Clint Eastwood για τη χρονιά, ενώ η Meryl Streep πήρε το εξίσου προφανές βραβείο για την φανταστική της εμφάνιση στο Devil Wears Prada. Το μεγάλο σοκ, όμως, ήρθε στο φινάλε, με το Babel να έρχεται από το πουθενά για να κερδίσει Καλύτερη Ταινία, κάνοντας πλέον την αντίστοιχη κατηγορία των Όσκαρ να μοιάζει με ανοιχτό πεδίο βολής για οποιαδήποτε ταινία εκ των Letters From Iwo Jima, Dreamgirls, Babel (οι 3 βραβευθείσες στις Σφαίρες), United 93 (που έχει σαρώσει σε ενώσεις κριτικών και guilds) και το Departed (αν μη τι άλλο γιατί ο Scorsese έχει σίγουρο το Όσκαρ Σκηνοθεσίας).

Στα καθαρά τηλεοπτικά, η Ugly Betty ξεχώρισε με δύο βραβεύσεις για Καλύτερη Κωμωδία και ερμηνευτική διάκριση για τη φοβερή America Ferrara, το Grey's Anatomy βγήκε Καλύτερο Δράμα, ο Hugh Laurie πήρε το δεύτερο συνεχόμενο (και οι Σφαίρες συνεχίζουν να ξεφτιλίζουν τα Έμμυ βραβεύοντάς τον) και ο Alec Baldwin πήρε μια πανάξια νίκη στους κωμικούς ρόλους για το 30 Rock, το οποίο αξίζει μόνο και μόνο για αυτόν. Αναλυτικά όλες οι βραβεύσεις μετά το άλμα.
