I’m a tv-addict and a movie fan. Watching awards shows and seeing my favorite Hollywood celebrities mix and mingle with each other gives me goosebumps. As if I was there in that room, witnessing the glitz and glamour. Unfortunately I wasn’t able to watch the Golden Globes earlier today, and it’s as if I missed seeing a friend who visits every year. Okay, okay… that is lame. Well, anyway even if I wasn’t able to watch the show, I am still happy for the winners, although most of the people I was rooting for did not get a Golden Globe.

Here’s the list: (Winners are in bold letters)

Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture
Mo’Nique ‘Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire’
Penelope Cruz ‘Nine’
Vera Farmiga ‘Up in the Air’
Anna Kendrick ‘Up in the Air’
Julianne Moore ‘A Single Man’

I was only able to watch Precious, and I say Mo’Nique deserved this win. She portrayed her character very well, in fact I hated her in the entire film.

Best Actress in a TV Series, Comedy or Musical
Toni Collette ‘United States of Tara’
Courteney Cox ‘Cougar Town’
Tina Fey ‘30 Rock’
Edie Falco ‘Nurse Jackie’
Lea Michele ‘Glee’

I love the United States of Tara. The main character, Tara, has a dissociative identity disorder. Seeing how Tara and her family manages this disorder evokes all kinds of emotions in me. My own problems seem so insignificant compared to this family’s. It certainly provides a different perspective. I was also rooting for Lea Michele since I’m a fan of Glee but the series is a success, surely she’ll have lots of chances to win in the future. I can’t say the same for United States of Tara, actually I’m not sure if they have a next season.

Best Supporting Actor in a TV Series, Miniseries or Motion Picture Made for TV
John Lithgow ‘Dexter’
Neil Patrick Harris ‘How I Met Your Mother’
Michael Emerson ‘Lost’
Jeremy Piven ‘Entourage’
William Hurt ‘Damages’

I was rooting for NPH, I’m definitely a fan of How I Met Your Mother. Oh well, maybe next time. I was watching the latest episode a few minutes ago and I loved the production number about the suit.

Best Animated Feature Film
‘Up’
‘Coraline’
‘Fantastic Mr. Fox’
‘Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs’
‘The Princess and the Frog’

Up is definitely a must-watch! It has that Disney/Pixar magic that touches your heart and makes you empathize with the main character.

Best Actor in a TV Series, Drama
Michael C. Hall ‘Dexter’
Simon Baker ‘The Mentalist’
Jon Hamm ‘Mad Men’
Hugh Laurie ‘House’
Bill Paxton ‘Big Love’

I wanted Hugh Laurie to win but oh well… Maybe I should start watching Dexter.

Best Actress in a TV Series, Drama
Julianna Margulies ‘The Good Wife’
Glenn Close ‘Damages’
January Jones ‘Mad Men’
Anna Paquin ‘True Blood’
Kyra Sedgwick ‘The Closer’

Best Miniseries or Motion Picture Made for TV

‘Into the Storm’
‘Little Dorrit’
‘Taking Chance’
‘Georgia O’Keeffe’

Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Comedy
Meryl Streep ‘Julie and Julia’
Sandra Bullock ‘The Proposal’
Marion Cotillard ‘Nine’

Wow! Drew Barrymore beating out Jessica Lange. Hmm… I’ll put this on my movies-to-watch list then.

Best Screenplay – Motion Picture
‘Up in the Air’ Jason Reitman, Sheldon Turner
‘The Hurt Locker’ Mark Boal
‘District 9′ Neill Blomkamp, Terri Tatchell
‘Inglourious Basterds’ Quentin Tarantino
‘It’s Complicated’ Nancy Meyers

Best Actor in a TV Series, Comedy or Musical
Alec Baldwin ‘30 Rock’
Steve Carell ‘The Office’
Thomas Jane ‘Hung’
David Duchovny ‘Californication’
Matthew Morrison ‘Glee’

It’s his third Golden Globe for the same performance, which is why I finally decided to watch 30 Rock. I don’t know why, but I don’t really like Tina Fey’s Liz Lemon character. Might be because I relate with her too much. Ha-ha… But that’s another story.

Best Foreign Language Film
‘The White Ribbon’
‘A Prophet’
‘The Maid’
‘Baaria’

Best TV Series, Drama
‘Mad Men’
‘Big Love’
‘Dexter’
‘House’
‘True Blood’

Best Supporting Actress in a Series, Miniseries or Motion Picture Made for TV
Chloe Sevigny ‘Big Love’
Jane Adams ‘Hung’
Rose Byrne ‘Damages’
Jane Lynch ‘Glee’
Janet McTeer ‘Into the Storm’

I really really really wanted Jane Lynch to win this one. Sue Sylvester, her role in Glee affects me so much that it makes me want to punch her in the face… and I’m not usually a violent person.

Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture
Christoph Waltz ‘Inglourious Basterds’
Matt Damon ‘Invictus’
Woody Harrelson ‘The Messenger’
Christopher Plummer ‘The Last Station’
Stanley Tucci ‘The Lovely Bones’

Best Director – Motion Picture
James Cameron ‘Avatar’
Kathryn Bigelow ‘The Hurt Locker’
Clint Eastwood ‘Invictus’
Jason Reitman ‘Up in the Air’
Quentin Tarantino ‘Inglourious Basterds’

I’m embarrassed to admit that I haven’t seen Avatar yet. Especially when I watched Titanic 4 times on it’s first week.

Best TV Series, Comedy or Musical
‘Glee’
‘30 Rock’
‘Entourage’
‘Modern Family’
‘The Office’

I just love Glee. Period.

Best Motion Picture, Comedy or Musical
‘The Hangover’
‘(500) Days of Summer’
‘It’s Complicated’
‘Julie & Julia’
‘Nine’

I did watch The Hangover, and I did think that it was funny. But I never imagined it would win any award. Well, maybe on the MTV Movie Awards…

Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Drama
Sandra Bullock ‘The Blind Side’
Emily Blunt’The Young Victoria’
Helen Mirren ‘The Last Station’
Carey Mulligan ‘An Education’
Gabourey Sidibe ‘Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire’

I watched Precious and I really think Gabourey Sidibe should win an award for it. But maybe there’s something to say about Sandra Bullock’s performance in this one since she actually won a Golden Globe. For the first time!

Best Actor in a Motion Picture, Comedy
Robert Downey, Jr. ‘Sherlock Holmes’
Matt Damon ‘The Informant!’
Daniel Day-Lewis ‘Nine’
Joseph Gordon-Levitt ‘(500) Days of Summer’
Michael Stuhlbarg ‘A Serious Man’

Sherlock Holmes… another movie I missed. Thank God for dvd’s.

Best Actor in a Motion Picture, Drama
Jeff Bridges ‘Crazy Heart’
George Clooney ‘Up in the Air’
Colin Firth ‘A Single Man’
Morgan Freeman ‘Invictus’
Tobey Maguire ‘Brothers’

Best Motion Picture, Drama
‘Avatar’
‘The Hurt Locker’
‘Inglourious Basterds’
‘Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire’
‘Up in the Air’

I’m still hoping to watch Avatar in IMAX. There’s still time, I think.
