Golden Globes

I fell asleep and didn’t get to see all the Golden Globe winners last night.  So, I checked out the winners on-line this morning.  Some made me very happy and I wish I could have seen the acceptance speeches for them.  Then there were some that I didn’t really care one way or the other because I didn’t see the performances.  But there was one in particular that I am very happy I didn’t stay awake to see……I was in shock when I saw it this morning!

Let’s start with the ones that I thought were excellent choices:

• UP – Best Animated Feature Film
• Meryl Streep – Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical for her wonderful portrayal of Julia Child in Julie and Julia
• Martin Scorsese – Cecil B De Mille Life Time Achievement Award (it is about time!!!)
• Sandra Bullock – Best Actress in a Drama for her amazing performance in The Blind Side

Now — the one I can not believe — it absolutely HAS to be a joke that is running rampant on the internet:

• Robert Downey, Jr. – Best Actor in a Comedy or Musical for his ridiculous portrayal of the beloved classic character, Sherlock Holmes in the movie of the same name!!

What were they thinking?  I thought his performance was dull and boring and he made a mockery of a great classic character.  For more on my opinion of this film and Robert Downey Jr’s part in it, scan down to the next post and read my review after seeing the film yesterday!

I can’t wait to see who takes home the Oscars for last year’s films!
