Well, the awards season is wrapping up, and the Golden Globes were first on the list. Ricky Gervais, the ceremony's first in 15 years, admitted that it is more of a party for the money-making freeloaders of Hollywood than an actual show. And in the end, the Hollwood Foreign Press Association showed their colors: they chose megahit Avatar as the best picture of the year and James Cameron as the best director. The same went for acting accolades: Meryl Streep, Sandra Bullock, and Robert Downey Jr. won for The Blind Side, Julie & Julia and Sherlock Holmes, respectively. The rest of the awards went to locks no matter how much of a crowd their film drew in: Jeff Bridges for Crazy Heart, Christoph Waltz for Inglourious Basterds, and Mo'Nique for Precious. The Screen Actors Guild Awards the following weekend repeated the winners' successes, much to my chagrin. Let's see if the Oscar nominations next week reflect any impact from the Globes and SAG Awards.
