Golden Globes: The Recap!
Have you gotten over the post-Globes hangover yet? Did you win any money? If you'd bet before Monday's awards, here's what you may have won if you picked the winners:
Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Drama: Forest Whitaker, The Last King Of Scotland (Bodog: 7/3) (betED: -300) (BetUS: -400): You know, because Leo was nominated for 2 different roles in this category, a lot of people thought he had it in the bag, but really, the critics love Forest and what he's been doing with this film.
Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical:Meryl Streep, The Devil Wears Prada (Bodog: 11/9) (BetUS: -950): We called this one, and depending on where you went to bet, you could've made a nice amount of cash here.
Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical:Sacha Baron Cohen, Borat (Bodog: 2/9) (betED: -420) (BetUS: -550): He didn't have the best odds for winning a lot of money, but he was still a surprise. And his speech was classic.
Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama:Helen Mirren, The Queen (Bodog: 1/1) (betED: -900) (BetUS: -2500): This was her year this year, no doubt of that. She was the favorite at all the books, so it was almost a given that she was going to win.
Best Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical:Dreamgirls (Bodog: 1/1) (betED: -600) (BetUS: -950): Like we didn't see this one coming. Seriously. Did you really think that Borat had a chance?
Best Motion Picture - Drama:Babel (Bodog: 13/7) (betED: +600) (BetUS: +500): Now this was a bit of a surprise, to be honest. The books were point toward The Departed, and since Scorsese won for Best Director, we were all pretty sure he was going to get it. But the Mexican directors have come to represent this year. And I'll say it again: big fan of Innaritu. Good on him. And good money on you if you had bet on him.
