Golden Globe Awards

Well, the Golden Globe Awards are another casualty of the Writers Strike. Based on those awarded tonight, the show itself was not the only casualty.

I am sure that everyone who won was certainly deserving. However I have one big bone to pick with the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. The winner in the Best Actress in a musical or comedy was Marion Cotillard. Who is that you ask....I am sure that you are not alone in that question.

Marion Cotillard was nominated against Ellen Page for Juno who was amazingly funny,
Helena Bonham Carter, in her first musical, gave a musical performance that seemed to be as natural to her as walking. Then there is the brand new, bigger than life, Nikki Blonksy with her a golden voice and infectious enthusiasm who completely stole the show from a very seasoned and established cast. Lastly, Amy Adams who was able to completely make you believe that she was a princess from far far away land.

I am certain that Marion Cotillard is a very talented actress but I simply cannot believe that she was better than Ellen Page or Helena Bonham Carter. It simply should have been a tie between these two actresses.
