GOLDEN GLOBES: HIGHS AND LOWS















TOP THREE HIGHS
1. Kate Winslet winning two awards (Ah, retribution!)
2. Mickey Rourke's self-referential and apologetic speech (worthy of a standing ovation)
3. Waltz with Bashir for Best Foreign Film (though a repeat at the Oscars is a long shot)

TOP THREE LOWS
1. Complete shut-out for five-time nominees Benjamin Button, Doubt, and Frost/Nixon (which may likely affect their Oscar chances)
2. The obvious 'Brangelina' blubbering and snub (c/o Best Actress-Drama winner Kate Winslet and Best Musical/Comedy Picture presenter Sacha Baron Cohen, a.k.a. Borat)
3. The show itself (for being predictable and boring, despite the numerous expletives and surprise winners)
