Golden Globe Wrap: Social, Colin, Natalie, Annette, Paul–Will the Oscars Be Different?

Share

The Golden Globe for Best Picture went to “The Social Network.”

Now what will the Academy do? Last year, after the Globe went to “Avatar,” the Academy chose “The Hurt Locker” for Best Picture.

This could happen again. The Globes have been so discredited in the last few weeks it’s entirely possible the Oscar will go to another film.

For now, though, the people behind “The Social Network” can enjoy their tremendous success. David Fincher won Best Director also for “The Social Network.”

Best Actor went to Colin Firth, Best Actress to Natalie Portman. In the comedy/musical, the acting awards went to Annette Bening and Paul Giamatti.
