Photos Of Acting Category Winners :: Golden Globes 2010

Posted by Dana Kaminski on 18th January 2010 in awards

Golden Globe Actor Winners Photos Make It To This Blog By 6:26 PT, 9:26 ET, Jan. 18, 1010

Okay, so it took me about a whole day toiling with the all my blog tech to get this posted…And, yes, near the end, I was wondering out loud to inanimate objects why-ever I was ‘Doing-all-this’…I did accelerate to the question, with simultaneous head shaking…“Why, Any Of This??”…But then, by the end, when I saw the finished gallery: the actors expressions, expressiveness…well…)

For me, these photos…of these well-known actors, are just wonderful.

Their faces are so wonderfully expressive of how they feel about their very recent Golden Globe win. Full of authentic emotion. Yes, they are famous; yes, they have had long careers. Yet, this win really feels like a prize to them. Look, and see.

I can also, clearly,  see what separates real actors, from most of the other people in the world.  The trait what makes them really great at acting.

I share their joy with them, when I see these photos, and I hope you will get a similar satisfaction from seeing these Golden Globes Winners:

Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, And Accompanying Authentic Joy…

I Would Know That These Winners Are Actors, And Great Ones…

Even if I never saw them in a movie, or anywhere that I was informed what they were.

They were born actors, and they love acting.

They also worked very hard at it. These individual actors.

They cherish being rewarded for acting. For being recognized, their true nature.

How Could I Tell That These Are True Actors?

And all these other annoying assumptions?

You look at the photos, and tell me how you can. We’ll compare impressions. Leave a comment, or tweet me at my Twitter name which is @__dana__.

directors divorced copy

Something funny about this year…and you know I’m not big on gossip.  But, not only is it unusual to have a director nominee who is a woman, but this particular women is up against a particular man. Kathryn Bigelow is up against James Cameron.  Who also happens to be her ex-husband. They’re divorced.

Look, the Foreign Press and this ceremony is the kind of famous, funky event that could only happen here in Hollywood.

The fact that there are two directors who were once married, and are now divorced, and in contention for the same award, is not that big of a Hollywood deal either. Divorce is Hollywood’s middle name. Here, it’s not uncommon for one of the divorced couple to leave with the whole prize, either. So if one of them wins the award (out of the five directors competing), it won’t shock anybody.

What is shocking, is the fact that one of these lauded divorcees in the director category, is a woman. That is unusual for Hollywood.

(And, that, in 2010, is nothing but uncool…)

The Golden Globes, however, aren’t uncool… People poke fun, but I like them.

Last year, I posted the history of the Golden Globes. If I can put the link up, I will. Otherwise, I’ll fill you in as we get closer to January, and closer to awards time.

But bookmark this page or print it out now, so when the time comes, you are ready. Have a party, maybe, give everyone a print out. Choose the winners beforehand, and see who comes out the best.

Wait a minute, that’s my awards party plan.  You do as you wish, whatever you want. But it’s here, the list of noms, if you want ‘em.

Actresses Jodie Foster, Shirley MacLaine, and Sigourney Weaver, all won a Golden Globe…

It was a wierd, three-way win, in 1989.

They were all in the same acting category.
