Kate Winslet, Leonardio DiCaprio in Revolutionary Road (top); Winslet, David Kross in The Reader (bottom)

There were few surprises among the 2009 Golden Globe winners.
The biggest one was Kate Winslet&#8217;s best actress, drama, win for Revolutionary Road. Pundits everywhere &#8212; including those in this blog &#8212; were predicting either Anne Hathaway or Meryl Streep.
Sally Hawkins&#8216; best actress, comedy or musical, win may have caught some by surprise &#8212; those who were expecting Meryl Streep for the box-office hit Mamma Mia!. But considering that Hawkins has been a critical favorite (New York, Los Angeles, National Society of Film Critics) and that she&#8217;s a likely Oscar contender, Golden Globe prognosticators shouldn&#8217;t have been too shocked, even though Happy-Go-Lucky is hardly what one would [...]]]></description>

Josh Brolin in Milk

BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR
Josh Brolin (Milk)
  Robert Downey Jr. (Tropic Thunder)
Philip Seymour Hoffman (Doubt)
Heath Ledger (The Dark Knight)
Dev Patel (Slumdog Millionaire)
Though about as much a lead in The Dark Knight as Christian Bale, Heath Ledger is (almost) for sure the one who&#8217;ll win the best supporting actor Oscar come next February.
Philip Seymour Hoffman should get included  for Doubt and Robert Downey Jr. for his politically incorrect actor in Tropic Thunder.
Of the extensive supporting cast in Milk, Josh Brolin is the most likely contender, while Dev Patel, who apparently supports himself in Slumdog Millionaire, should also make the cut thanks to his film&#8217;s popularity.
Runners-up:  Michael Sheen (Frost/Nixon), as much a lead as Frank Langella, is being [...]]]></description>

Richard Jenkins, Hiam Abbass in The Visitor

BEST ACTOR
Clint Eastwood (Gran Torino)
  Richard Jenkins (The Visitor) 
  Frank Langella (Frost/Nixon)
  Sean Penn (Milk)
Mickey Rourke (The Wrestler)

Clint Eastwood becomes a sentimental favorite whenever he has a Message to convey; 
Sean Penn and Mickey Rourke have been winning awards left and right;
 Frank Langella will get his first Oscar nod (a sort of career achievement recognition, like James Garner&#8217;s &#8212; well-deserved &#8212; nomination for Murphy&#8217;s Romance back in 1985);
 and so will SAG nominee Richard Jenkins.

Runners-up: Unless Dev Patel pulls off a Keisha Castle-Hughes upset (she was pushed as a supporting player for Whale Rider in 2003, but landed a &#8212; truly surprising &#8212; best actress nod instead), the five [...]]]></description>

Directed by Sam Mendes and adapted by Justin Haythes from Richard Yates&#8216; novel, Revolutionary Road stars Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet (Mendes&#8217; wife) as a 1950s Connecticut couple whose &#34;ideal&#34; marriage is in the doldrums for they feel something is missing in both their personal and professional lives. A trip to France, which is supposed to make things better, ends up deteriorating their relationship even further.
DiCaprio, apart from a Golden Globe nod, has been all but ignored throughout the 2009 awards season, though Winslet has managed quite a few mentions, in addition to both Golden Globe and SAG nominations. The film itself has been included in several top-ten lists, and is up for a Golden Globe in the best film, [...]]]></description>
