And the Golden Globe goes to...







So I know I promised a "Gravity" post, but since tis the season to give out awards already, let me report last evening's highlights, just for the sake of it.

Not gonna bother with too much commentary, as this is kinda the warm-up of the Oscars. 

Personally, in the world of great filmmaking, I believe that very few notable films see a good buzz and a worthy acknowledgement from the Academy, but hey, this is Hollywood so, the jig is up, so sit back, relax and watch ahead.
