Golden Globes 2008: Winners

From Telegraph.co.uk--because apparently, the Brits type lists faster than Americans.

Based on predictions I posted earlier (which I entirely failed to update as I changed my mind after the DGAs and Critics Choice Awards rolled by), I fail at projecting wins. I got nine out of 25. Deplorable! See what I said I expected below as well.

Here is the complete list of winners at the 66th annual Golden Globes:

MOTION PICTURES:

—Picture, Drama: "Slumdog Millionaire." (I actually wanted "Slumdog," but I predicted "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button")

—Picture, Musical or Comedy: "Vicky Christina Barcelona." (Again, I wanted VCB, but I unscrupulously thought they'd go for box-office ball-buster, "Mamma Mia!")

—Actor, Drama: Mickey Rourke, "The Wrestler." (I was torn and never decided on this one)

—Kate Winslet, "Revolutionary Road." (I predicted Anne Hathaway for "Rachel Getting Married")

—Director: Danny Boyle, "Slumdog Millionaire." (I was torn on this one, too, between Boyle and Fincher for "Ben Button")

—Actor, Musical or Comedy: Colin Farrell, "In Bruges." (Never saw it! And I let my crush on Spidey's friend get the best of me.)

—Actress, Musical or Comedy: Sally Hawkins, "Happy-Go-Lucky." (I was torn in all the wrong directions!)

—Supporting Actor: Heath Ledger, "The Dark Knight." (Is this the only guess I got right?)

—Supporting Actress: Kate Winslet, "The Reader." (I guessed Penelope Cruz....)

—Foreign Language Film: "Waltz With Bashir." (One that I definitely meant to change, but I guessed "Gomorrah")

—Animated Film: "Wall-E." (Oh look, I got two right.)

—Screenplay: Simon Beaufoy, "Slumdog Millionaire." (Hooray, got this one, too.)

—Original Score: A.R. Rahman, "Slumdog Millionaire." (I never updated this one; back in December, I was completely clueless.)

—Original Song: "The Wrestler" (performed by Bruce Springsteen, written by Bruce Springsteen), "The Wrestler." Same here.

TELEVISION:

—Series, Drama: "Mad Men." Why did I guess "Dexter"?

—Actor, Drama: Gabriel Byrne, "In Treatment." I'm all over the place. I said Hugh Laurie.

—Actress, Drama: Anna Paquin, "True Blood." Sally Field? Fool!

—Series, Musical or Comedy: "30 Rock." Got this one.

—Actor, Musical or Comedy: Alec Baldwin, "30 Rock." I said Steve Carell, even though I don't watch that show. Hmm.

—Actress, Musical or Comedy: Tina Fey, "30 Rock." Sincerely meant to change this one. I did not think Debra Messing would win about five minutes after I posted that misguided prediction.

—Miniseries or Movie: "John Adams." Got it!

—Actress, Miniseries or Movie: Laura Linney, "John Adams." I figured "John Adams" would sweep.

—Actor, Miniseries or Movie: Paul Giammatti, "John Adams." (Once again)

—Supporting Actress, Series, Miniseries or Movie: Laura Dern, "Recount." (So I do know a wee bit about TV, it seems.)

—Supporting Actor, Series, Miniseries or Movie: Tom Wilkinson, "John Adams." (End scene.)


Cecil B. DeMille Award: Steven Spielberg.

Okay, there you have it. Next stop: SAGs.
