Quick comment on Golden Globes

I'm at work, so here's a quick rundown of how it all played out.
Dreamgirls(haven't seen it yet) and Babel(have) run away with the prizes.
Painted Veil won best Original Score which is slightly amusing. Helen Mirren gets way too much loving for The Queen and her made for TV movie. Martin Scorcese wins a Golden Globe for best director and is now assured a kiss of death come Oscar time. Sacha Cohen won best comedic actor for Borat, thus confirming the belief among thousands of conservative Republicans that Hollywood is too liberal and that censor chips should be planted in everyone's brains to ascertain good taste. Heroes is overshadowed and wins nothing, but it gets a better showing than Lost. Hugh Laurie proves himself to be a genius at being a jerk doctor. Jennifer Hudson lets the world know that thye can soon be expecting her to show up and possibly win the Oscars and a real career in Hollywood. Eddie Murphy wins a Globe and finds out how easy it is to be overshadowed. Also, apparently Hollywood can now create and make Foreign Films(From America people!!!) like Letter From Iwo Jima and Apocalypto and win in that category. And a bunch of other people and shows win awards, but no one really remembers or cares. My predictions, we will see more of Babel and Dreamgirls and The Queen come Oscar time.

Helen Mirren got the loving she deserved! Also Hugh Laurie's comment that someone's crew has to be " a pack of thieves" made my day.
