2010 Golden Globe Winners List and Recap

Published on January 17, 2010 by Admin/Neil · 4 Comments

The 2010 Golden Globes offered a nice look at what is to come as the TV and film awards season carries on. Many consider winners of the Globes to be in prime position for a victory at the Academy Awards. This Golden Globes Winners List highlights the best of TV and film over the last year including movies, shows, actors, and filmmakers.

This 2010 Golden Globe Winners List will be updated throughout the show, which begins at 8PM ET on NBC tonight (January 17). See our Golden Globe predictions which will be recapped after the show is over.

Introduction

The Golden Globes got off to a rainy start much to the dismay of celebrities walking in on the red carpet. There were lots of umbrellas out to cover hairdos and dresses. Host Ricky Gervais is kicking things off with his monologue with, of course, a run of jokes comparing his British version of “The Office” with Steve Carell’s US version. He has also poked fun at the actors for their plastic surgery and heightened sense of self-worth. Finally, a necessary Jay Leno crack. Follow our Golden Globe updates all night and let the awards begin …

List of 2010 Golden Globe Winners with live updates and notes (winners in bold)

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE IN A MOTION PICTURE

• Penélope Cruz, Nine
• Vera Farmiga, Up in the Air
• Anna Kendrick, Up in the Air
• Mo’Nique, Precious
• Julianne Moore, A Single Man

Note: No surpise here as the Critics Choice Award winner and likely Oscar winner wins. Nicole Kidman, star of 9, made mention of the Haiti flag ribbons and mentioned the George Clooney organized Hope for Haiti telethon next Friday before announcing the winner. Correct pick

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A TELEVISION SERIES, COMEDY OR MUSICAL

• Toni Collette, United States of Tara
• Courteney Cox, Cougar Town
• Edie Falco, Nurse Jackie
• Tina Fey, 30 Rock
• Lea Michele, Glee

Note: Not to brag, but two for two so far in our Golden Globe predictions. Collette is a very underappreciated actress who wiin in a very competitive category with a talented collection of women. Correct pick

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE IN A SERIES, MINISERIES OR MOTION PICTURE MADE FOR TELEVISION

• Michael Emerson, Lost
• Neil Patrick Harris, How I Met Your Mother
• William Hurt, Damages
• John Lithgow, Dexter
• Jeremy Piven, Entourage

Note: Wow – three for three and was personally rooting for Lithgow as a big Dexter fan. He was a very menacing villain and provided a tremendously shocking Dexter ending for Season 4. Correct pick

BEST ANIMATED FEATURE FILM

• Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs
• Coraline
• Fantastic Mr. Fox
• The Princess and the Frog
• Up

Note: This one was easy, but 4-for-4. Paul McCartney delivered the award and was a surprising hit with a few quick and witty jokes. Wife liked the fact the he held his own umbrella on the red carpet. Correct pick

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A TELEVISION SERIES, DRAMA

• Simon Baker, The Mentalist
• Michael C. Hall, Dexter
• Jon Hamm, Mad Men
• Hugh Laurie, House
• Bill Paxton, Big Love

Note: 5 for 5. I counted on Laurie’s wins already and a compassionate vote for Hall. Plus, as a Dexter fan, he is very deserving. Neil Patrick Harris (nominee for How I Met Your Mother) and Jane Krakowski (30 Rock) co-introduced the award for Best Actor TV Series – Drama. Correct pick

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A TELEVISION SERIES, DRAMA

• Glenn Close, Damages
• January Jones, Mad Men
• Julianna Margulies, The Good Wife
• Anna Paquin, True Blood
• Kyra Sedgwick, The Closer

Note: 5 for 6. Wasn’t trying to avoid admitting first miss – technical challenge. Margulies wins in a tough category with Harris and Krakowski also announcing best drama actress – TV winner. Incorrect pick

BEST ORIGINAL SONG

• “Cinema Italiano,” Music & Lyrics by Maury Yeston (Nine)
• “I Want to Come Home,” Music & Lyrics by Paul McCartney (Everybody’s Fine)
• “I Will See You,” Music by James Horner, Simon Franglen; Lyrics by James Horner, Simon Franglen and Kuk Harrell (Avatar)
• “The Weary Kind,” Music & Lyrics by Ryan Bingham and T Bone Burnett (Crazy Heart)
• “Winter,” Music by U2; Lyrics by Bono (Brothers)

Note: A night of streaks – 2 bad picks in a row. This was a tough category and I went with the rule that all things being equal, go with Avatar. 5 for 7. Incorrect Pick

BEST ORIGINAL SCORE

• Michael Giacchino, Up
• Marvin Hamlisch, The Informant!
• James Horner, Avatar
• Abel Korzeniowski, A Single Man
• Karen O and Carter Burwell, Where the Wild Things Are

Note: Back on track. Son hums the Up theme all day, so that was natural instinct. 6 for 8. Correct Pick

BEST MINISERIES OR MOTION PICTURE MADE FOR TELEVISION

• Georgia O’Keefe
• Grey Gardens
• Into the Storm
• Little Dorrit
• Taking Chance

Note: Grey Gardens had too good of a cast and story to not win… maybe more individual awards to come. Like Amy Adams who helped deliver award. 7 for 9. First major music playoff as the cast took their time with acknowledgments. Correct Pick

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A MOTION PICTURE, COMEDY OR MUSICAL

• Sandra Bullock, The Proposal
• Marion Cotillard, Nine
• Julia Roberts, Duplicity
• Meryl Streep, It’s Complicated
• Meryl Streep, Julie & Julia

Note: Funny intro to Colin Farrell by Gervais. Farrell introduced Best Actress in Comedy or Musical (Film). Another winner – was worried Streep might win for the wrong movie! 8 for 10. Correct Pick

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A MINISERIES OR MOTION PICTURE MADE FOR TELEVISION

• Kevin Bacon, Taking Chance
• Kenneth Branagh, Wallander: One Step Behind
• Chiewetel Ejiofor, Endgame
• Brendan Gleeson, Into the Storm
• Jeremy Irons, Georgia O’Keefe

Note: Kevin Bacon wins. Bad pick as I went for Irons of Georgia O’Keefe! 8 for 11. Incorrect Pick

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A MINISERIES OR MOTION PICTURE MADE FOR TELEVISION

• Joan Allen, Georgia O’Keefe
• Drew Barrymore, Grey Gardens
• Jessica Lange, Grey Gardens
• Anna Paquin, The Courageous Heart of Irena Sendler
• Sigourney Weaver, Prayers for Bobby

Note: Fast turnaround as best miniseries actress goes to Drew Barrymore in an upset over Grey Gardens co-star Jessica Lange – right movie, wrong actress. Expect a zany speech. 8 for 12. Incorrect Pick

BEST SCREENPLAY

• Neill Blomkamp and Terri Tatchell, District 9
• Mark Boal, The Hurt Locker
• Nancy Meyers, It’s Complicated
• Jason Reitman and Sheldon Turner, Up in the Air
• Quentin Tarantino, Inglourious Basterds

Note: Jennifer Aniston and the guy from 300 deliver Best Motion Picture Screenplay award. Tough category to predict and need a win to get back on track. Oh well, my second pick won. 8 for 13. Incorrect Pick

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A TELEVISION SERIES, COMEDY OR MUSICAL

• Alec Baldwin, 30 Rock
• Steve Carell, The Office
• David Duchovny, Californication
• Thomas Jane, Hung
• Matthew Morrison, Glee

Note: Nice award presentation team with Ashton Kutcher and Jennifer Garner. Alec Baldwin wins. Another tough category to pick and another loss – four straight after an 8 for 10 start. Baldwin wasn’t there to give speech as he is at a charity event. 8 for 14. Incorrect Pick

BEST FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM

• Baaria (Italy)
• Broken Embraces (Spain)
• The Maid (Chile)
• A Prophet (France)
• The White Ribbon (Germany)

Note: Sophia Lauren, 78, delivered the foreign language film, which makes sense. Back on the winning track with The White Ribbon. Show must be behind as music started quickly on his speech. 9 for 15. Correct Pick

BEST TELEVISION SERIES, DRAMA

• Big Love
• Dexter
• House
• Mad Men
• True Blood

Note: Wanted Dexter but not surprised that the new hit show Mad Men wins for best TV drama series. Another bad pick… tough going lately. Again with the fast music… speed things up at the beginning. 9 for 16. Incorrect Pick

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE IN A SERIES, MINISERIES OR MOTION PICTURE MADE FOR TELEVISION

• Jane Adams, Hung
• Rose Byrne, Damages
• Jane Lynch, Glee
• Janet McTeer, Into the Storm
• Chloë Sevigny, Big Love

Note: This one seemed like an easy pick. Glad Sevigny won as she is a very talented actress and a major factor in Big Love’s success. 10 for 17. Correct Pick

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE IN A MOTION PICTURE

• Matt Damon, Invictus
• Woody Harrelson, The Messenger
• Christopher Plummer, The Last Station
• Stanley Tucci, The Lovely Bones
• Christoph Waltz, Inglourious Basterds

Note: Not sure what the logic was with Tucci. Waltz was the obvious choice as the Critics Choice winner but went for the upset here. Waltz was great though. Nice, humble speech. 10 for 18. Incorrect Pick

Update: Cecil B. Demille Award given to Martin Scorsese by Robert DeNiro and Leonardo DiCaprio, who have appeared in multiple Scorsese films. Hoffman was very poignant and humorous and DiCaprio called Scorsese his “good friend and mentor”, a “master filmmaker”, and a “good, patient teacher”. A nice montage showing top scenes of Scorsese films was followed by a relatively brief acceptance speech by Scorsese.

BEST DIRECTOR

• Kathryn Bigelow, The Hurt Locker
• James Cameron, Avatar
• Clint Eastwood, Invictus
• Jason Reitman, Up in the Air
• Quentin Tarantino, Inglourious Basterds

Note: Gervais makes a funny joke leading into Mel Gibson’s introduction of the Best Direction – Motion Picture Award. Went against my first instinct (Avatar) and keep thinking Tarantino wins something. 10 for 19. Incorrect Pick

BEST TELEVISION SERIES, COMEDY OR MUSICAL

• 30 Rock
• Entourage
• Glee
• Modern Family
• The Office

Note: Feel good about this pick (maybe because of a long streak of misses). Good new show beats out some mainstays like 30 Rock. 11 for 20. Correct Pick

Update: The guys (including Mike Tyson) from The Hangover come out to present the next nominee for Best Motion Picture Comedy or Musical – The Hangover.

BEST MOTION PICTURE, COMEDY OR MUSICAL

• (500) Days of Summer
• The Hangover
• It’s Complicated
• Julie & Julia
• Nine

Note: This was a very competitive award presented by Reese Witherspoon. Another pick to feel good about. 12 for 21. Correct Pick

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A MOTION PICTURE, DRAMA

• Emily Blunt, The Young Victoria
• Sandra Bullock, The Blind Side
• Helen Mirren, The Last Station
• Carey Mulligan, An Education
• Gabourey Sidibe, Precious

Note: Mickey Rourke, complete with cowboy hat, presents to Sandra Bullock - 3 correct picks in a row! Competitive category. Bullock seems quite ‘normal’ compared to some of the other actor/actress speakers. 13 for 22. Correct Pick

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A MOTION PICTURE, COMEDY OR MUSICAL

• Matt Damon, The Informant!
• Daniel Day-Lewis, Nine
• Robert Downey Jr., Sherlock Holmes
• Joseph Gordon-Levitt, (500) Days of Summer
• Michael Stuhlbarg, A Serious Man

Note: Surprise, surprise. Downey Jr. takes out Day-Lewis. Really thought this was a given. Levitt was actually quite solid in a nice romantic comedy, but he seemed out of place on this list. Downey is funny and quick-witted. 13 for 23. Incorrect Pick

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A MOTION PICTURE, DRAMA

• Jeff Bridges, Crazy Heart
• George Clooney, Up in the Air
• Colin Firth, A Single Man
• Morgan Freeman, Invictus
• Tobey Maguire, Brothers

Note: Very tough pick on this one. Wanted to go with Clooney, but will admit I relied on the Critics Choice Awards for this one. Kate Winslett presented to Jeff Bridges. Yeah for being conventional and sensible… should have done that a couple times before. Nice standing ovation followed by a nice speech – thanked his wife first and also mentioned his stand in who he’s done over 60 films with! 14 for 24. Correct Pick

BEST MOTION PICTURE, DRAMA

• Avatar
• The Hurt Locker
• Inglourious Basterds
• Precious
• Up in the Air

Note: Julia Roberts gets to present the biggest and final Globe of the night for Best Motion Picture – Drama. She’s too serious too tell jokes on stage. Seems like an easy pick with Avatar at this point given the way the night has gone. And there you have it – maybe the easiest call of the night. Finished a respectable 15 for 25. Correct Pick

Golden Globes Recap

Satisfied with my Golden Globe predictions as I was 15 of 25 (60%). A couple more conventional picks and it would have been better.

As usual, the Golden Globe Awards was full of intrigue, reveals, and some great humor. Ricky Gervais ranks up there as one of the best awards show hosts ever – no fear in his humor. It will be interesting to see whether the Globes is a forecast of what is to come with the February Oscars. It wouldn’t be surprising to see some changes in a few categories that were closely contested.

Arguably the biggest surprise was the Robert Downey Jr. win for Best Actor in a Motion Picture Comedy or Musical. Daniel Day-Lewis was the conventional pick. Avatar was a big winner as expected. Tarantino and Inglourious Basterds had a bad night with just the Waltz win. Very happy to see Dexter’s Hall and Lithgow win – great show! Otherwise, the wealth was spread fairly well. No other majorly dominating films.
