Well, the winners of the 67th Annual Golden Globe Awards were finally revealed last night. As most of you know, I posted my predictions yesterday. I didn't have a perfect score, but I didn't do that bad either!

There were just a few surprises. Avatar won Best Motion Picture - Drama, and it didn't have any objection. It was definitely the best on the list. Sandra Bullock got her deserved Best Performance Actress - Drama Award, she had NO competition. Jeff Bridges won Best Performance Actor - Drama Award with his drama film Crazy Heart. I'm glad he got it, since I totally believe he's such a great actor. I'm honest, I haven't watched that film yet, but I've seen all the clips, interviews, and according with the "people" critics and comments, it seemed to be a deserved award. The Hangover won the Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy Award. If anyone doubted about this award, it is because that person hasn't watch the film yet! Meryl Streep won her Best Performance Actress - Musical or Comedy Award for her role in Julie and Julia. I had no doubt about this award... if you haven't watched the movie yet, it is 100% recommended!

Robert Downey Jr won the Best Performance Actor - Musical or Comedy Award. Honestly, I don't know the reason for his nomination in the first place. Sherlock Holmes is not a Musical or Comedy film. Every single Movie Portal describes the film as an Action/Adventure/Thriller film, not a single one describes it as a Musical or Comedy film... but hey, I'm not the professional critic here, right? :) I must say that I totally enjoyed his role in Sherlock Holmes and I have no doubts that it was a deserved award but, since it was a "Musical or Comedy" category, I believed that Matt Daemon deserved it, since his film and role was perfect for the nomination and category nomination.

Mo'nique won the Best Performance Actress in a Supporting Role Award, and she deserved it. It is a film that has stayed "low-profile" out there and it's a film so worth to watch. Christopher Waltz won The Best Performance Actor in a Supporting Role Award and let me tell you, he deserved it more than anyone in that list. I know Inglorious Basterds is a crazy twisted film (well... it's a Tarantino's film), but Waltz's performance makes it so worth to watch! Up got the Best Animated Pictures Award, totally deserved. I know that all the Animated Pictures nominated were amazing, but Up was the best. The White Robbon won the Best Foreign Language Film Award. It was tricky one, since all these films were really good.

I'm not disappointed that James Cameron won the Best Director Award. I'm totally convinced that Avatar was beautifully directed. In fact, it was my first choice. Then, I decided to change my decision to Kathryn Bigalow, since her film (The Hurt Locker) was amazingly directed also. Honestly, I was impressed for her work. Up in the Air won the Best Screenplay Award from a very interesting list, since we had all kind of different films and visual material. I went for Inglorious Basterds, but Up in the Air deserved it.

Anyway, it was a really good practice for the Oscars Awards, coming in just a few weeks. I'll post the nomination list as soon as it is revealed and we can start an open forum about our predictions :)

The rest of the nominations were related mostly with TV shows so, here's the complete list of the 67th Annual Golden Globe Awards:
