Stars at the Golden Globes
After a year out of the award show spotlight, the stars return! Kareen Wynter reports.
The Golden Globe goes to, Slumdog Millionaire.
Slumdog Millionaire, about an orphan who goes on India’s version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire won 4 for 4, winning best picture drama, plus score, screen play and directing honors.
"The Globes just give us a platform, er, that presents the film to the world."
The night’s other top honor, best picture musical or comedy went to Woody Allen’s Vicky Cristina Barcelona. Comedy acting honors went to Sally Hawkins for Happy Go Lucky and to In Bruges' leading man Collin Farrell.
"It’s nice to be told well done and get a smack at the back of the head. Sometimes a smack is needed, and, but a ‘well done’ is always lovely."
Hollywood loves the comeback story and they don't come much better than this—Mickey Rourke winning best actor drama for “The Wrestler”.
"I appreciate it a lot, because it's a profession where, you know, if you work hard enough, and many years go by, you can get a second chance."
Kate Winslet ended her Golden Globe drought in dramatic fashion by winning two awards, supporting actress for the holocaust film The Reader and best actress drama for Revolutionary Road, which re-teamed her with her Titanic friend Leonardo DiCaprio.
"Leo, I'm so happy I can stand here and tell you how much I love you, and how much I've loved you for 13 years."
And perhaps the night's most poignant moment came when the late Heath Ledger won for his memorable portrayal of the joker in The Dark knight.
"He will be eternally missed, but he will never be forgotten."
