Golden Globes 2011- Full list of winners

Here’s a recap of this year’s Golden Globe Awards. Ricky Gervais was a good, controversial host. Of course his jokes were their to make some of the guests feel uncomfortable, but hey, that’s what a comedian like him does. Robert DeNiro’s acceptance speech for the Cecil B DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award was great. At first I thought to myself, Matt Damon isn’t taking this very seriously, but then I realised that DeNiro himself is quite the funny man, so it was cool. Another really cool speech came from Anette Bening, who gratiously accepted her award for Best Actress in a Comedy/ Musical for her role in The Kids Are All Right.

The cameras kept panning to probably one of Hollywood’s most famous couple, Brad Pitt and Angelina. Twitter was abuzz, as Angelina straightened Brad’s tie as they cut to a commercial break. Angelina wasn’t lucky enough to scoop an award for her role in The Tourist, but looked gorgeous in her green ensemble. Colour works for her. A very pregnant Natalie Portman walked away with the coveted Best Actress award, which shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise to you. I still need to see Black Swan, ahead of the Academy Awards because she is well on her way to Oscar glory. The ever so polite Colin Firth won a Golden Globe for his role in The King’s Speech. He seems like an awesome, extremely humble and very funny man. At one point, CNN’s Piers Morgan said it was as “if was looking in a mirror” “Best line from my Firth i/v – ‘When I go to the supermarket, people come up and call me Piers.’ #true”. I said Colin could play him in the film biopic of his life. True too!

Glee was another big winner on the night with Chris Colfers, Jane Lynch and the best TV show. Claire Danes won yet again for her role in Temple Gardin and Boardwalk Empire also walked away victorious.

Hottie of the night has to go to Halle Berry! Hail Halle, holy hotness!
