Yay, last night, right after I finished my entry, I continued writing the subsection 2 of SD:IS's Episode 22, and I think it's shaping out to be pretty well. But enough with that.
Just watched the Golden Globes just now, and see how did my predictions fare.
Best Picture - Drama: The Aviator
I picked Million Dollar Baby because I wasn't entirely impressed with The Aviator. Apparently, I was right, Martin Scorsese ain't going to return empty-handed. But instead of rewarding him with a Best Director as I've expected, they rewarded him with this.
Best Picture - Musical or Comedy: Sideways.
Thus, I don't have to delete my blog.
Actor In A Leading Role - Drama: Leonardo Dicaprio
Once again, I got this right.
Actor In A Leading Role - Musical Or Comedy: Jamie Foxx
Bingo.
Actress In A Leading Role - Drama: Hilary Swank
Jackpot.
Actress In A Leading Role - Musical or Comedy: Annette Bening
All right, I went with Kate even though Annette was the hot favourite. My mistake. The Golden Globes tend to have some surprises, so I expected it to happen in this category (kinda like how Richard Gere got Best Actor in a Comedy and Musical for Chicago two years ago). Apparently, it happened in both supporting acting awards.
Actor In A Supporting Role: Clive Owen
This is a massive surprise. To tell y'all the truth, I thought he had the LEAST chance in winning it.
Actress In A Supporting Role: Natalie Portman
Whilst lamenting that she has been robbed of a nomination for Garden State, a movie I really really liked, I didn't really expect her to win this one either. Closer had been getting pretty mixed reviews, so never thought that it would get a single award at all.
Director: Clint Eastwood
Thought they would give this to Martin Scorsese while Clint would get the Best Picture. I was wrong.
Screenplay: Alexander Payne
Yep.
Foreign Film: The Sea Inside
I'm surprised that both of my picks, Motorcycle Diaries and Very Long Engagement, didn't make it. Definitely gonna see The Sea Inside when I get to Singapore next week.
Damn, five out of eleven. But at least I got the major acting awards correct. Hah.
