Atonement's Keira Knightley

The Golden Globes

The writers’ strike landed a body blow to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association’s annual Golden Globes, although it didn’t knock the awards show off the air entirely. Reduced from a three-hour, celebrity-filled glitzy dinner and prize giveaway to a half-hour televised news conference, the GGs were a muted affair. However, that doesn’t change the fact they kick-start the awards season, and people pay very close attention to the Golden Globes when it comes time to picking Oscar winners.


 

Here are this year’s winners.

• Best Picture (Drama): Atonement
• Best Picture (Comedy or Musical): Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
• Best Director: Julian Schnabel, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly
• Best Actor (Drama): Daniel Day-Lewis, There Will Be Blood
• Best Actor (Comedy or Musical): Johnny Depp, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
• Best Actress (Drama): Julie Christie, Away from Her
• Best Actress (Comedy or Musical): Marion Cotillard, La Vie en rose
• Best Supporting Actor: Javier Bardem, No Country for Old Men
• Best Supporting Actress: Cate Blanchett, I’m Not There
