The Golden Globes are always said to be Hollywood's best awards show because everyone gets plastered at tables, making speeches more off the cuff and jokes peppier, instead of sitting in uncomfortable theater chairs, unable to mingle with odd pairings (Julia Roberts sitting next to Sir Paul McCartney? Random!). Anyhoo, last night's Golden Globes was pretty fun--Gervais was on top of his game (unless your Mel Gibson, but whatever) and the speeches were (mostly) fun/touching.
But with all the funnery, there were a couple of surprises--not so much for the supporting categories as those seem to be a lock for now until the end of the awards season. For me, the big surprises included Sandra Bullock's win for Best Dramatic Actress, RDj's win over Joseph Gordon-Levitt for Comedic Actor, and (though I guessed it would happen) Jason Reitman's win over Quentin Tarantino for Best Screenplay.
