【ハリウッドより愛をこめて】ゴールデン・グローブ賞の舞台裏＆オスカーの見どころ

there was not much "alcohol-generated drama. However, there were quite a few people that were...shall we say..."unhappy" with the host of the Golden Globes, Ricky Gervais (also the creator of the big UK/US hit tv series "The Office"). Some people found his jokes "a little too much"...such as when he introduced award presenter Bruce Willis as "dad of Ashton Kutcher" (the current husband of his ex-wife, Demi Moore).However, according to ratings, the show got as many viewers as last year, so I am sure the network executives were happy with the final outcome.
As for the red carpet, the main trend in dresses this year seemed to be COLOR...which is quite refreshing....especially PINK and GREEN. I think my favorite dress/outfit, however, was worn by actress Olivia Wilde (from "Tron" and tv series "House, M.D.". She showed up in a beautiful black and gold "bling bling" long flowing dress with wonderful gold spikey high heels.

Now onto the awards... Christian Bale walked away with the Golden Globe for "Best Supporting Actor" for his role in the Mark Wahlberg film "The Fighter", and "Best Supporting Actress" was taken by his colleague from "The Fighter", relatively unknown actress Melissa Leo. I have a very strong feeling that these two may be walking away with Oscars come FEb. 27th. Two other sure bets for an Academy Award nominations Colin Firth and Natalie Portman, both walked away with "Best Actor in a Drama" and "Best Actress in a Drama" respectively. In fact, I really don’t see anyone beating those two at the Academy AWards, because they are most definitely on a ROLL! Annette Bening won the "Best Actress Golden Globe- Musical or Comedy" for her role in the indie film "The Kids Are All Right". (If there is ANYONE that will take the "Best Actress" Oscar from Natalie Portman, then it will be Annette Bening)
