REPORT: The Golden Globes






We love the Golden Globes, it is the most fun of all the events during the Hollywood Award Season. The biggest and brightest stars of both television & film gather in a ballroom at the Beverly Hilton Hotel while the Hollywood Foreign Press Association gets them all liquored up and passes out awards. It is always entertaining to see the winners trying to navigate their way through the crowded room, like a mouse in a maze..........

In all seriousness though.............the films nominated and awarded this year were some of the best we have seen in years.

This year's big winners were Walk The Line and Brokeback Mountain. Brokeback lead the pack taking home 4 Globes including Best Motion Picture - Drama and Best Director for Ang Lee. Reese Witherspoon and Joaquin Phoenix took home Lead Actor awards for the Johnny and June Cash Bio-pic.

ABC struck gold with the hit series, LOST, and everbody's favorite guilty pleasure, Desperate Housewives, when both shows took home television's top honors.

George Clooney picked up the award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role for his performance in Syriana.

The most memorable moments of the evening for us were the acceptance speeches made by Felicity Huffman and Grey's Anatomy star Sandra Oh. Huffman was honored for her riveting performance as a transexual in the controversial film, TransAmerica, while Sandra Oh was hysterically funny in delivering her acceptance speech for Best Performance by an Actress - Television.
