So, Golden Globes 2010 are now behind, with only (if I haven’t forgot anything) Oscars to look forward, and in rather unexpectedly-expected way Avatar took it home with best picture and best director. And I’m not really sure what to think about that. I mean, I really did enjoy Avatar. It was immensely fun and spectacular, but was there really the beeest movie of last year bellow all that spectacle? With such serious contenders like Hurt Locker (oh the irony if it had won) and Inglourious Basterds? Especially with the enormous recognition Avatar has been receiving.
In other news and observations (in short) – Gervais did a great job, air of fresh breath. Thou Steve Carell seemed genuinely “confused” there for a bit. Also huge “YAY” for Mad Men. And “Meh” for Glee. And kinda “Eh” about Hangover winning over (500) Days of Summer, thou I can live with that, given the nominations. Other then that nominations in my opinion were rather adequate. I mean, best actor, for example, was a total toss-up… JGL, Clooney, Damon, Downey Jr (his speech was just what I expected), Michael Stuhlbarg and Daniel Day-Lewis… id give all of them a Globe (thou Daniel Day-Lewis already has a variety of those), they all did a fantastic job.
Now then that’s behind – road to Oscars is paved.
Oh, yes, kinda ps – what made me chuckle bit was Mickey Rourke’s slight disappointment about Bullock getting Globe for best drama performance.
