In less than 30 minutes, the winners were announced. Even though most complain about how long award shows can run, the Golden Globes was always a welcomed relief of the uptightness that comes along with this staple. Watching the winners announced as they were made me realize how much it is not the same without the actual show. Everyone was allowed to let loose, as the champagne flows. Now, if this was the Academy Awards, then maybe I would have a different opinion. I kid, I kid. With no negotiations in near site, it looks as if the Oscars, will be handed out in the same format, although the Academy swears that the show will go on as promised. We shall see. 2008 is looking like dismal year for the Film and Television industry. Below are the complete winners. Congratulations to all the winners. I was suprised as this year brought on alot of surprises.
