69th Golden Globes Tinsel & Tine Commentary
Winners
Best Performance Actress – Drama: Meryl Streep – Iron Lady.
I'm looking forward to seeing this film. (very disappointed The Film Society didn't offer a preview screening).
I'm certain as always, Streep's performance will be award worthy; however, since this film hasn't even hit theaters yet, how about giving the Globe to Viola Davis and letting Meryl win the Oscar. 
Best Performance Actor – Drama: George Clooney - The Descendants
Clooney coming out on stage with Brad Pitt's cane was a funny bit. And the highlight of my night was when he commended Michael Fassbender on being able to play golf with his hands behind his back. (If you'll recall, my commentary on Shame starts out with a similar reference). All great, except his performance in The Descendants does not deserve a Golden Globe.
And yes, that also means I didn't agree with The Descendants winning Best Motion Picture Drama. This film's got good bones, and I'm a fan of writer/director Alexander Payne; but the movie is not as involving as Moneyball or The Help. And although I've yet to see it, I imagine it's not as smart as The Ides Of March.
At first I was disappointed with The Artist winning Best Motion Picture - Musical/Comedy, then in thinking over its competition: 50/50, Bridesmaids, Midnight in Paris and My Week with Marilyn, all films I enjoyed about equally. 50/50 perhaps a step below the others, but basically, this category was up for grabs.
On a side note: there was an audible gasp from the audience when the producer of The Artist, Ludovic Bource called his Golden Globe an Oscar - talk about a faux pas!
