The Golden Globes aired last night on NBC and I actually watched them. I don’t why but I always miss all the awards shows, I just can’t remember when they’re on. This time however I caught all the drama and all wins and unfortunate losses.First lets talk Drama… Ricky Gervais… nough said. There have been a lot of controversy surrounding the British funny man hosting the extravagant event, and until last night it was remained to be seen if he could pull it off or not. Unfortunately for Ricky, he could not. Critics gave him a big thumbs down and even called him “tasteless” and “unfunny”, after he teared into everyone from Stanly Toochie to Mel Gibson.
Another great moment was Drew Barrymore’s nervous speech… She was so adorable and I’m so happy she got her first Golden Globe. I did have some predictions (More like just picked my favorites) about the winners so lets see how well I did. The wins are in blue.
Best Motion Picture – Mr. Smith was going for Up In The Air, but lost out to Avatar (I knew I should have picked it)

Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture (Drama) – Jeff Bridges won for Crazy Hearts
Best Motion Picture (Comedy Or Musical) – The Hangover ruled!
