And the Golden Globe goes to...

Michael C Hall - Best Serial Killer

The 67th Golden Globe awards are over, I'm sure some recipients may not have made it home yet. This year was the first time the awards night had a host in fifteen years. I hope they ask Ricky Gervais back, he was brilliant!
Some highlights of the night...
Ricky Gervais saying he enjoys a drink as much as the next man unless the next man is Mel Gibson.
Dexter taking out two awards, Best Actor in TV Drama, Michael C Hall and Best Supporting Actor in TV Drama, John Lithgow. My two favourite serial killers.
Michael C Hall looking well accepting his award after an announcement last week that he was being treated for cancer.
Robert Downey Jr winning Best Actor in a Comedy/Musical Film
Mo'Nique's heart felt speech for Best Supporting Actress for Precious.
Jeff Bridges getting a standing ovation when accepting his award.
Christophe Waltz winning Best Supporting Actor for Inglourious Basterds.
Martin Scorsese receiving the Cecil B DeMille award, talking about the history of film and the importance of preservation.

Some shocks... well, unexpected award winners...
Sandra Bullock Best Actress for Blindside? All About Steve was one of the worst movies I'd ever seen. I'm gonna have to check that one out.
Avatar for Best Picture? Sure it was visually stunning and technologically groundbreaking but 'Best Picture'?
No awards for Quentin Tarantino?
