2008 Golden Globe Winners

Posted by Neil Miller (neil@filmschoolrejects.com) on January 13, 2008

Everyone golf-claps for Atonement, the winner of the Best Motion Picture Drama Award, the final Golden Globe handed out this evening, and it ends — just like that. It has to be one of the most anti-climactic moments in the history of entertainment. A congratulations is in order for Joe Wright though, whose film may now become a frontrunner for the Best Picture Oscar.

So here we are to run you through the list of Golden Globe winners, in a hopefully more entertaining manner than was just witnessed on the TV Guide Network. There was commentary about the Writers Strike, Mary Hart making bad jokes and a whole bunch of surprises — and above all, Juno got absolutely screwed. Then again, we could have seen that one coming.

Without further ado, here is the list of winners from tonight’s Golden Globes ~~Ceremony~~ Press Conference:
