ROTTEN TOMATOES: And the Golden Globes Winners Are...

And the Golden Globes Winners Are...

The champagne stops flowing, but the show keeps going.

by Jeff Giles | January 14, 2008

It was missing the glitz and glitter of previous years, but the 65th annual Golden Globes were held via press conference yesterday, with Atonement, The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, No Country for Old Men, and Sweeney Todd leading the crowd at two wins apiece.

It's about time Eddie Vedder got some respect from the film industry. He didn't win for Big Fish or Dead Man Walking in the past, which pissed me off to no end. Also, Atonement winning for best picture is a joke. It was good, but No Country for Old Men should have won, and if not that, then There Will Be Blood should have taken it. Both of those movies wreaked of brilliance.

Atonement? The best year for movies in a decade and they reconize it by giving atonement and sweeneny best pictures? How about no country and juno? They were each better in my opinion.

If P.T.A. gets snubbed at the Oscars, it'll be almost as great a travesty as voters ignoring Scorsese for thirty years.

Nice to see the wins for Sweeney (although the musical/comedy category is typically weak and not an indication of oscar success) and especially Depp.

I've read a number of posts from people convinced that Simpsons was a shoo-in for the animation oscar...anyone still think that's even a remote possibility at this point?

Saw Atonement, Sweeney Todd, Juno and No Country and I have to say that they HFPA got it right. Still haven't seen There Will Be Blood, but it's on the list. I loved all of the above movies, don't get me wrong, but I thought Atonement was a phenomenal picture in almost every aspect.

My feeling is that "The Simpsons" doesn't need any kind of recognition or validation from the Academy or the HFPA. They're part of the cultural zeitgeist, and therefore above awards. In any case, the movie itself is pretty much a longer, bigger-budget television episode. Voters, I'm betting, would be most likely to recognize projects that were conceived of from the beginning as animated features - Ratatouille, Persepolis.

I love The Simpsons, but it's not going to win any major award. Besides (and I could be wrong on this) doesn't it already have a whole ton of Emmys?

While I thought The Simpsons was alright but I don't beleive it needs to be in this conversation. What was new, interesting or different about that movie? I am looking forward to the DVD buzz dying down as I am so tired of Spider-Pig and seeing giant Homer's everywhere with a freaking donut in his mouth. Enough already; this over-exposure has finally done them in as far as I am concerned.

It sucks that No Country for Old Men didn't win best picture. I am glad that Duchovny won for his role in Californication, the only true justice I saw in these awards.

I really have to disagree when people write off the simpsons movie as an extended episode. It was made as an experience on the big screen. images flying at you, the intense camera angles and larger-than-life plot. it was an event, not just an episode.

the quality of the writing and animation was way beyond anything the weekly show has offered in a number of years. and despite the highest of expectations, pretty much evertyone saw it and liked it. While it shouldn't beat out ratatouille for best animated feature, it does deserve the oscar nomination and a lot more respect than being called a long episode.

Yes! I saw No Country two days after seeing Atonement and still think Atonement is the better picture. No Country may have had better dialogue, tension and depth but Atonement takes the cake in terms of style and emotional impact w/c I personally tend to value more. Great choice for best drama imo.

Ratatouille is about the only one I agreed with. Walk Hard deserves an award. Didn't they write, like, 30 songs from scratch?

The problem w/ both NCFOM and Atonement was their endings (NCFOM was an existential WTF and Atonement was cloyingly Saving Privat Ryanesque); however, Atonement's middle also had issues (needless length made it ponderous at points), whereas NCFOM had some slow points, but mostly moved forward in smooth dramatic fashion.

Overall, Atonement had a better setup, but NCFOM seemed the better movie.

Oh, yeah, and I'm definitely on board w/ all these awards shows being 30 minutes long. Definitely could do w/o all of the mental masturbation going on.

I'm excited that Dario Marianelli won for Original Score. His music for Atonement is simply beautiful.

I dare say that, if the Oscar race is between "No Country For Old Men" and "Atonement," "Atonement" will win, hands down. Not necessarily that it SHOULD win (I haven't seen Atonement yet, so I don't have an opinion on it) but it will quite likely be a repeat of the "Fargo"/"English Patient" competition from 1996. "The Departed" not withstanding, gritty crime dramas almost never win the big prize--especially when there's a costume drama/war movie in the competition.

For all you people who love No Country, see There Will Be Blood before you decide. I thought Blood was superior in every way to No Country. God Bless Daniel Day Lewis, perhaps America's greatest living actor.
