The Hollywood Foreign Press shows that it's a "Social Network" full of "Glee" after last night's awards. My predictions were completely off for the 2011 Golden Globes, but the night was a great celebration of achievements in film and television.
Big wins were expected from The Social Network, Natalie Portman of Black Swan, The Kids Are Alright, and The Fighter. One major disappointment was in the category of "Best Supporting Actress," while I was extremely happy for Melissa Leo, I think Mila Kunis was robbed.
If the Globes are any indication of the Oscars, whose nods come out in a couple days, it looks like the cast of The Social Network better take to Facebook for acceptance speech ideas, because they will be making a lot of them.
A movie is more than the writing, the acting, or the directing alone; it's all of those things working together to create a piece of art that, in its best form, will blow audiences away. For that, The Social Network deserved "Best Motion Picture Drama" While it was a tough call between David Fincher and Darren Aronofsky, Black Swan was rich in content that was delivered to the screen in a remarkable way that should have gotten Aronofsky the win. Another snub, was what I'd like to call a "token award" given to Colin Firth of The King's Speech over Eisenberg or Whalberg. Until the HFPA calls me in, I guess predictions will have to do. All in all, the Globes were a great prelude to film's biggest night. You can get a complete list of winners here.
