2008 Golden Globes Ceremony II
2008 Golden Globes Ceremony: Part I
Among the predictable winners were Julie Christie as best actress in a drama for her performance as a woman suffering from Alzheimer’s disease in Sarah Polley’s Away from Her (right, with Gordon Pinsent); Daniel Day-Lewis as best actor in a drama for his star turn as a greedy oil baron in Paul Thomas Anderson’s widely praised There Will Be Blood; and Johnny Depp as best actor in a comedy or musical for his singing serial-killing barber in Sweeney Todd. (Depp was the only American actor to win in the feature-film categories.)
Also, Brad Bird’s Ratatouille, the story of a French rat with gourmet inclinations, as best animated film; and best supporting actor Javier Bardem for his [...]

Golden Globes 2008: Surprises at the Un-Ceremony
Keira Knightley, James McAvoy in Atonement
The smaller, shorter, subdueder 2008 Golden Globes "news show" — a result of the ongoing WGA strike, now entering its tenth week — ended not too long ago. There was no red carpet, no dress parade, no dumb questions from journalists, no mind-numbing speeches, no godawful jokes, no poorly staged musical numbers, no toilet paper stuck on anyone’s shoe.
Many have lamented this year’s loss of glamour, glitz, and tasteless jokes. But personally, I don’t think that’s a bad thing. Much to the contrary. I find the vast majority of those glitzy and glamorous — and tasteless and phony — award shows all but unwatchable, and the Golden Globes ceremony is one of the tackiest [...]
