Golden Globes Results - It Rhymes with "Chick Flick"

If you didn?t watch tonight?s Golden Globes Awards, you missed out on two big winners, a few personal triumphs, and (surprisingly) few fire-your-stylist fashion faux pas. Read on for the entire list of winners from the television and film honorees (here?s a hint: the Hollywood Foreign Press sure like those cowboys)!

Leading the Golden Globes with seven nominations, Ang Lee?s cowboy love story ?Brokeback Mountain? emerged victorious with four awards for Best Picture (Drama), Best Director, Best Screenplay and Best Song (?A Love That Will Never Grow Old?).

Also winning multiple honors, the Johnny Cash biopic ?Walk the Line? took home three awards in the Musical or Comedy category, including Best Picture. Reese Witherspoon and Joaquin Phoenix, who star as June and Johnny Cash, each won Golden Globes for their performances.

Adding to the gay-friendly honors of the night were Felicity Huffman, who nabbed Best Actress for her portrayal of a pre-operative transsexual in ?TransAmerica,? and Philip Seymour Hoffman, whose spot-on personification of gay author Truman Capote in "Capote"won him a Best Actor trophy.

Two other front-runners for the Globes, George Clooney?s ?Good Night, and Good Luck? and Woody Allen?s ?Match Point,? came out empty-handed despite each having four nominations apiece (Clooney, at least, won the Best Supporting Actor award for his role in "Syriana"). Meanwhile, the critical dud ?Memoirs of a Geisha? (currently at 33 percent on the Tomatometer) came out a winner for Best Original Score, thanks to composer extraordinaire John Williams. And finally, Sir Anthony Hopkins Cecil B. DeMille lifetime achievement award from his ?Proof? co-star Gwyneth Paltrow.

In the realm of television, awards went to ABC?s ?Lost? and ?Desperate Housewives? for Best Drama Series and Comedy Series, respectively, and HBO?s ?Empire Falls? for Best Mini-Series or TV Movie. Read on for the complete list of television and film winners.

This year's award for the REAL "Golden Globes" definitely goes to Scarlett Johansson. They should have just left the camera on her for the entire show, screw whatever's happening on stage!

Sorry, it may be obvious to everyone else, but ...

What ryhmes with chick flick?

Is it hat trick? A hat trick is when you score 3 points and is really only used in soccer and hockey (two sports that people who live in cities don't follow).

Kyle Beaudette

when he said "it rhymes with chick flick" everyone groaned and it was awkward, because here's gay cinema coming into its own and being appreciated, and here's goofy dennis quaid up on stage making queer jokes. i dunno? anyone else think it was a pretty bad joke in poor taste?

I agree it was awkward, but considering the globes were fairly aimed at gay cinema this year, you can't really say gay cinema is coming into its own. Achieving critical acclaim for gay cinema could have happened decades ago, if anyone had made gay cinema well (like Ang Lee did; regardless of what anyone thinks of homosexuality, Brokeback was a well-crafted film). The mere fact that gay movies were made and accepted by critics doesn't say anything. We're talking about people who jump at the chance to heap awards on anything that sticks in the craw of what they see as "traditional values" America.

Brokeback Mountain, Capote, TransAmerica, Monster's Ball, Cider House Rules, The Hours, Million Dollar Baby, even Philadelphia, which at the time was controversial. That's a short list. Some of those were well-crafted, no question. Others not so. It's a shame that, since the various film academies have made of habit of bowing low to any movie that incenses conservatives, they have robbed those films of truly being appreciated as movies. Instead, future generations will, at least in part, look back on them as political pieces given awards just because they were political. That's not necessarily true of all of them, but it certainly looks like that's the trend.

Anyhow, I'm pretty sure Dennis Quaid felt just as awkward saying it as we did watching him say it.

Judging by the looks of things, the 2005 Academy Awards is shaping up to be a 'who cares?' yawner. This is the year of the gay theme and no doubt Brokeback Mountain will join such trendy flavours of the year as Shakespeare in Love, Network and other undeserving best pictures.

Network? Sidney Lumet's master satire about corporate television and greedy media swine? Certainly you jest. Not only one of the classics of the 70s, but a film that could have easily been released today and made just as important a statement. Especially in these times of reality TV and the ratings-hungry TV execs hell bent on doing anything for the almighty $$$. As for best picture, Network took 4 awards but not for best picture.

As far as the Oscars go, they usually suck, but this year I'm only gonna watch it for one reason. Jon Stewart. Nuff said!

Cheers,
Kevin

[b]Correction[/b]
I said earlier that Network won best picture in 1976; I have to correct myself. Believe it or not, Rocky won best picture that year over Network, Taxi Driver, All the President's Men. Even Network didn't deserve to lose to Rocky! Hard do believe though that Taxi Driver didn't win. I simply thought that Network was too preachy in a Hollywood kind of way much the same way I feel about Brokeback. They're gay, so what? It's still nothing more than a mediocre movie. Hollywood loves its "Pat me on the back because I understand and want to reward you themes" that they have each year . Even last year when Hollywood tried to correct decades of shamefully ignoring the black community, they still screwed up by giving the best actor award to Jamie Foxx instead of Don Cheadle who deserved to win. Hell, even Eddie Murphy done a better Ray Charles than Foxx!. But, that?s Hollywood.

I thought Dennis Quaid spoke for a certain percentage of the audience - and in the year of "Good Night, and Good Luck," the courage to voice an unpopular opinion is to be applauded, isn't it? - who thought that the Hollywood Gay Community was using "Brokeback Mountain" to make a statement, rather than it being the best movie.

But that's a minority opinion - because the story apparently stands on its' own merits.

The idea that you're in love with a person, and have to hide it from the rest of the world, is universal. It used to be love between a white woman and an African american ( Guess Who's Coming to Dinner) or a poor woman and a rich man ("Pride and Prejudice")...

The scenery of Marlboro Country.... was fun to watch, too.

I lovedthat Hugh Laurie finally got an award for his role on "House."

Next year, "Grey's Anatomy" will sweep the Globes' TV categories, after the new wears off "Desperate Housewives" and "Lost."

"I thought Dennis Quaid spoke for a certain percentage of the audience"

From the response, it didn't look like he was speaking for anyone. It was a crass and tasteless comment. I don't think it was part of the original "script", I think he added it himself. I went back and watched it again (it will repeat this weekend on Bravo). He had a smirk on this face just before he said it.




"...who thought that the Hollywood Gay Community was using "Brokeback Mountain" to make a statement, rather than it being the best movie..."

Actually the Golden Globes is the Hollywood Foreign Press, which is dominated by the French and British. The Hollywood community (gay or straight) really doesn't have anything to do with it.
The Academy Awards is the Hollywood community, with actors, directors, etc. making the list of the nominees, and then the winners. I have always felt that the Hollywood community talks big about being one with the gay community, but when came down to action, forget it. And they know this. There is still a huge stigmatism about "being gay in Hollywood". Actors are still afraid to be open because they might not get good rolls, be stereotyped as the "gay friend", or just get nothing at all.
The main Hollywood community is more about political activism than about social activism. If they were more for social reform there would be more Hondas in Hollywood than Hummers. It will be interesting to see, but I have a feeling that GOOD NIGHT AND GOOD LUCK might have a better chance at the Oscars than BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN.

"...The idea that you're in love with a person, and have to hide it from the rest of the world, is universal. It used to be love between a white woman and an African american..."

Amen. But it's not only about being in love. Each generation has to find it's group of people to single out and attack. It's no longer acceptable to discriminate against Asians, Blacks, Hispanics, disabled, religions... laws have been passed against it. Someday a law will be passed making it illegal to discrimiate against gays, and society will have to find something new to kick. Unfortunately.

[b]Questions for Hollywood[/b]
How does Desperate Housewives and Lost win for best tv series when no has seen the whole second season of either of these shows?
So if Terrance Howard was a gay pimp would he of won?
If George Clooney and Michael Srathaim made out in black and white would they have won?

But I will say Best Score for Memoirs of a Geisha I agree, because the music put me to sleep so I wouldnt have to watch the rest of that Japenese/American/Chinese Epic.

A few surprises during the night, but overall on track for what I thought with Brokeback Mountain emerging as the clear front-runner.

However, don't expect Rachel Weisz to get a second dose of luck when it comes time for Oscars.

First off, I'm not trying to sound like a homophobe, but by calling Brokeback Mountain undeserving of the awards it received is just asking for some negative response.
George Clooney should have won Supporting actor (thank God he did(, but also Director and Screenplay. I would have to say that David Cronenberg was better this year, but since he wasn't nominated for some reason...
Also, the biggest robberies of all in the awards: There were two of them.
Best Comedy TV Show: Not Desperate Housewifes. Curb Your Enthusiasm. Try and tell me different.

Best Supporting Actor (TV): I know I'm not the only one who thinks this, considering about every critic on the world is on my side, but how in the HELL did Paul Newman beat Jeremy Piven?
Jeremy Piven deserved that much much more.

Curb Your Enthusiasm is pure genius. There were some exceptionally great comedies this year. I would have been hard pressed to name just five. Ricky Gervais' excellent new 'Extras' on HBO. The second season of 'Entourage'. NBCs wonderful revival of 'The Office' (especially after their disastrous attempt to Americanize 'Coupling') and while it's still to early for 'My Name Is Earl', I think it's a wonderfully inventive new comedy with a sweet cast.

Cheers,
Kevin

Actually, I agree with Desperate Housewives winning for comedy. "Lost" is a completely different story. Steve Carrell sucks (except in his SMALL film roles). What's NOT the best?? Also, how is Million Dollar Baby controversial?

helping a person die, who is not, is not controversial? There is nothing more debated than these life and death issues. Wow you need to tell everyone your definition of controversy then there buddy.

QUOTE Also, how is Million Dollar Baby controversial? END QUOTE

The whole right to die issue. If you were watching the news last year, you would have seen the whole Terri Shiavo (sp?) case where her family and her husband fought a long, drawn out battle to pull the plug on her. Euthanasia has long been a controversial subject.

IMO, 'Lost' rules the planet and deserves any awards thrown its way. I actually would have like to have seen the actor who portrays Sawyer up for an award. And John Locke. Dude rules my world.

Kevin

Yes, I just watched the movie last night. The movie was good.
*SPOILERS*


I didn't see that coming when she fell at her last fight. That was pretty sad. I had no idea that she died and he pulled the plug! I was thinking about the Terri Schiavo thing. I couldn't believe that no one was making a big deal about that. I wrote that before I saw the entire movie.

I don't share your opinion on all accounts. Brokeback Mountain is nothing short of a masterpiece and will prove to be a landmark film. It is not only deserving of all its awards but is was the most original, honest, thought provoking, and moving film of the year.
