Golden Globe Winners

The 2012 Golden Globe film winners are all as to be expected: Christopher Plummer & Octavia Spencer take the lead for Supporting Actor & Supporting Actress; George Clooney & Jean Dujardin battle it out to the end for Best Actor; Michelle Williams is Meryl Streep's strongest competition for Best Actress & if it weren't for The Artist, The Descendants would be the film to watch for Best Picture.

On the TV front, however, it's all newcomers. Claire Danes takes an expected win for Homeland - incidentally that is three for three for Danes at the Globes for TV: My So-called Life in 1994, Temple Grandin in 2010 & now Homeland - seems her career is best suited to TV for some reason; old favourite Kelsey Grammar becomes only the second actor to possess a Golden Globe as Best Actor in both a TV Comedy & TV Drama (the other being David Duchovney, for The X-Files & Californication) by winning for Chicago Mayor Drama Boss; Matt LeBlanc makes a frankly surprising comeback, winning Best Actor in a TV Comedy for Episodes & Laura Dern takes home the gold for another new series, Enlightened.     


Not happy about Madonna now having two Golden Globes, though.
