Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard never win anything. Granted the win for A. R. Rahman is probably warranted, but still.

I%u2019m happy for Kate. Really, I am. But let%u2019s not pretend that these two Golden Globes were anything other than %u201Cmake up%u201D awards for previous snubs. Her performance in Revolutionary Road was fine, but wasn%u2019t THAT big of a departure from what she did in Little Children (but then again, I%u2019m shaking the pom-poms for Kristin Scott Thomas so what do I know?) and the film itself was a huge disappointment. What%u2019s worse, though, was her win for The Reader, particularly because it was a LEAD role! Are we so desperate to give this woman an award that we%u2019re willing to keep lying to ourselves about this obvious fact and snub Tomei, Morton, and Cruz?

I am really glad Rourke won. The Wrestler is my favorite film this year, and I think it should have gotten more recognition (Best picture, Best Director). I love Slumdog Millionare and I am glad that Danny Boyle won. I think Kate Winslet definitely deserved to win for Revolutionary Road because she seems so likable and became so angry in this film, really good movie. I haven't seen The Reader yet because of the mixed reviews but I will probably give it a look. No surprise on Heath Ledger winning. Cool to see Collin Farrel win he was fantastic in IN BRUGES. The only films I haven't seen from these nods are Waltz With Bashir which I will check out when it hits my area, The Reader, and Happy Go Lucky which I never got around too. Also does this year prove that Oscar season loves nazi picks, despite mostly mixed reviews The Reader still gets all these nominations. While I haven't seen it yet and I am sure Winslet is great in it I just don't get how a movie with not much love gets a nomination for best Drama while an AMAZING film like The Wrestler that practiacly everyone seems to love doesn't! Winslet is awesome though, and I loved her in Revolutionary Road and I will see The Reader along with ANOTHER WWII film this weekend Defiance. Also I loved seeing Aronofsky giving Rourke the finger, he should have been nominated!

YES!! YES!!! I'm so happy for "Slumdog Millionaire" getting the BEST prize.
It deserves it!! Boyle deserves Best Director too. Great movie.
Just like the guy in the movie gets up from a difficult life into a better one-- the movie (Slumdog Millionaire) is following the same path as it's lead character. Fantastic.

Mickey Rourke wins! YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES I was so excited he won I fell over the couch. And yes the wrestler should have been nominated for best picture and director. But who cares Mickey Rourke won.

In reply to this comment (#2247258)
i agree with you. The Reader is more like a lead performance. Its not fair to Cruz who was great in a small role. also i thought it would be Hathaway or Streep. Winslet was fine in Rev Road but DiCaprio OWNED that movie. I think if they gave the best actress to kate then Leo should have gotten the Best Actor too. Too Bad Leo's category is so full of great performances...

Also, havent seen Slumdog. It hasnt open yet here in the philippines. hmmm, looks like Howard and Zimmer will have a hard time winning the oscars if A.R. Rahman keeps winning.

and guys, arent you sad that Fincer isnt winning these season.. C'mon! he's one of our favorite directors. Remember FIGHT CLUB

Wow, something truly amazing happened this year. Everyone who actually deserved to win their award, actually won the award!

Perhaps there's still hope for the movies after all...

Good to see The Wrestler getting a lot of love.

A great spread of films. Hopefully the Oscars will be as interesting and varied.

Wow, The Dark Knight really should have won best picture, it was simply perfect. (I also think In Bruges and The Forbidden Kingdom were two of the best movies of the year.)

fantastic that Slumdog Millionare got all that is deserved. However, i hope that come oscar time there will also be some recognition for its amazing performances as well. Loved Rourke in The Wrestler, and what a surprise for Farell for In Bruges! pleasant surprise of the evening.

In Bruges is a beautifully perfect movie and should have beat out Woody Allens non-comedy Vicky Christina. Kate Winslet better get that Oscar this year. IMO Sean Penn smashed Mickey Rourke in the wrestler.
