Golden Globes – The Winners! (Yes, Mickey Rourke won!)
January 11, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
The 66th Annual Golden Globes Awards are now history. Any hits or misses, in your view? I was shocked but happy to see Mickey Rourke win for Best Actor for "The Wrestler." I think he was, too.
And tearful Kate Winslet was charming when she gave her speech for winning Best Actress. Here’s the rundown, with the winners marked with asterisks. And I guess I’d better see "Slumdog Millionaire" before the Oscars!

Golden Globes – Heath Ledger wins for Best Supporting Actor
January 11, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
Things got off to an emotional start at the 66th Annual Golden Globes Awards when Heath Ledger won for Best Supporting Dramatic Actor for his role as The Joker in "The Dark Knight."
Maggie Gyllenhaal (pictured) noted on the red carpet that while it’s hard to talk about her friend Ledger, she feels that he’s very deserving of the award.
Presenter Demi Moore presented a brief clip of Ledger’s work in the film and afterwards, "Dark Knight" director Christopher Nolan accepted Ledger’s posthumous award, doing so with "a mixture of sadness and incredible pride."
Rather than dwelling on the gap left by Ledger’s death, Nolan said he preferred to concentrate on "the incredible place in the history of world cinema he built for himself."

The Golden Globes – Red Carpet Thoughts
January 11, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
The 66th Annual Golden Globes are tonight – 8 p.m. EST on NBC - and everyone looks lovely! It’s fun to see both movie stars and TV stars intermingling on the red carpet. A few thoughts on the red carpet:
Drew Barrymore (pictured) was hand-in-hand with Jessica Lange. They play mother-daughter in an upcoming film, "Grey Gardens." Drew looked so glamorous with her blonde hair and buff bod. She seems like she really has it together these days!
Miley Cyrus talked about getting her mom’s hand-me-down Porsche, but her dad really wants her to get an old Corvette. Also, she didn’t really say much to the Jonas Brothers when they walked by, but Billy Ray talked to them. Oh, and Billy Ray managed to step on her dress at one point. Come on, dad.
America Ferrera talked about the relaxed atmosphere of the Globes, because people are sitting at tables sipping champagne and talking amongst themselves.
