Best Actress (drama) winner Sandra Bullock got teary-eyed while listening to Meryl Streep's speech, in which the best actress (comedy or musical) winner remembered her mother's optimistic nature. Bullock later gave her own emotional speech, and got to speak both German and English while at it. Her performance in The Blind Side has earned her some good reviews, and the film itself has become a major box-office hit. So much so that Bullock was voted the top box-office star in the United States in 2009. Her other releases last year were the hit The Proposal, with Ryan Reynolds, and the box-office disappointment All About Steve, with Bradley Cooper.
Vera Farmiga was in the running in the best supporting actress category for Up in the Air. Jason Reitman's comedy-drama starring George Clooney won a single award, for best screenplay. Farmiga will next be seen in Henry's Crime, a comedy directed by Malcolm Venville, and written by Sacha Gervasi and David N. White. Keanu Reeves and James Caan co-star.
During his Golden Globe presentation, Neil Patrick Harris made some joke linking comedies to high foreheads. I didn't quite get it. Seemed like many in the audience didn't get it, either, but I could be wrong. Jane Krakowski was his co-presenter. With him on the red carpet is his companion, David Burtka, who's appeared in a few episodes of Harris' sitcom How I Met Your Mother.

It's been corrected. Thank you.
There is an error in your article. Please note that Vera Farmigs's next film "Henry's Crime" is directed by Malcolm Venville, not Sacha Gervasi. Mr. Gervasi is the screenwriter.
