Golden Globe Awards 2012: All the results

Freshly announced, the 69th annual Golden Globe Awards took place last night (early this morning, South African time) at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles. Generally regarded as a pretty good indicator of the Academy Awards results every year, the Golden Globes are chosen by the approximately 90 members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. As an awards ceremony the Golden Globes are  consider to be a good deal more fun than the stiff and politically correct Oscars, with plenty of boozed-up movie stars, fewer Dullsville technical awards and even some critical love going the way of top television series.

Read below for all the results (winners marked in red) if you didn’t have the stomach to get up at 3am to watch this year’s awards live on M-Net. If you are desperately trying to avoid hearing about the outcome until the televised re-broadcast which is TOMORROW night, Tuesday, 17 January on M-Net Movies 1  beware! Spoilers below.

As a tiny bit of commentary, there were no major surprises at the Golden Globes this year, with the “safe” voting typically going the way of established stars. At the same time 2012 is shaping up as one of those years where the cinema-going public doesn’t really have a popular crowd-pleasing favourite to rally behind.

    I’m sorry, but who the hell are all these people and what movies are these. Did I skip a year?

       It’s not a great year, frankly. Compare with last year: Black Swan. Social Network, True Grit, King’s Speech, The Fighter, 127 Hours – all big, interesting movies. We had to wait to watch most of them locally, but I know many of us were excited to do so. This year’s nominees? Yawn…

        Hugo, Ides of March, War Horse and Moneyball are all movies that I’m eagerly awaiting. But even so, it’s nowhere close to the collective awesomeness of 2011.

           Moneyball and Ides of March are out – or have already been released – locally. There’s no more waiting for those guys.
