The 68th Golden Globe Awards

Here are the important Golden Globe winners. The Social Network led the way with four wins, while The Kids Are All Right and The Fighter both nabbed two. If this is any indication, it looks like The Social Network will have their way at the Oscars as well. But we shall see. I correctly picked all but four categories, which is much better than last year.

Best Drama: The Social Network
I completely agree, although a case could be made for both Inception and The Fighter.

Best Actress - Drama: Natalie Portman (Black Swan)
I'm planning on seeing this film in the next few days...

Best Actor - Drama: Colin Firth (The King's Speech)
I saw this coming, even though I would've voted for Eisenberg (The Social Network).

Best Comedy/Musical: The Kids Are All Right
I agree 100%. By far the best film out of the five choices.

Best Actress - Comedy/Musical: Annette Bening (The Kids Are All Right)
I actually liked Julianne Moore's performance more, but that's just me.

Best Actor - Comedy/Musical: Paul Giamatti (Barney's Version)
I thought for certain Depp would win, but I'm glad he didn't. Giamatti is underrated.

Best Animated Film: Toy Story 3
Big surprise here (sarcasm).

Best Foreign Film: In a Better World
This was a bit of a shocker to most people.

Best Supporting Actress: Melissa Leo (The Fighter)
I think Amy Adams deserved it, but I won't argue Leo. She was way overdue.

Best Supporting Actor: Christian Bale (The Fighter)
Finally, Bale wins one of the big awards! He earned this award with his hair-raising performance. He was up against tough competition too (Garfield, Rush, Renner).

Best Director: David Fincher (The Social Network)
No-brainer. Sorry, Nolan.

Best Screenplay: Aaron Sorkin (The Social Network)
Another no-brainer.

Best Original Score: Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross (The Social Network)
A bit surprised Hans Zimmer (Inception) didn't win, but this would have been my second guess.

Best Television Series - Drama: Boardwalk Empire
They sure do love new dramas, even if they're just okay.

Best Television Series - Comedy/Musical: Glee
No comment.

Best Mini-Series/Television Movie: Carlos
A bit surprised Temple Grandin didn't win, but Claire Danes deservedly won best actress.

Top 25 Films of the 1990's

Image
I was royally bored this afternoon so I did some good old fashioned research, and came up with a list of my favorite films of the 90's. It was very difficult to narrow it down to 25. I tried to get a good balance of comedy, drama, action, horror, etc. films into the list. I would love to hear some feedback. This was a great decade for movies. A lot of these films I grew up watching over and over. I'm not going to get into too many details. I will try and give reasons for some films. Please enjoy! 25. Happy Gilmore (1996) - Directed by Dennis Dugan. Starring Adam Sandler. I don't have to explain myself here. There are one-liners in this film that I still use to this very day. 24. The Firm (1993) - Directed by Sydney Pollack. Starring Tom Cruise. This was a huge decade for Tom Cruise. His films have gotten a little shady lately, but he was a machine in the 90's, and this is a fantastic film. 23. The Truman Show (1998) - Directed by Peter Weir. Starring Jim Carrey. This

Top 100 Actors

60. Gael Garcia Bernal One of the best Spanish actors out there. But the kicker is he can speak fluid English. He steals every scene he's in. -The Science of Sleep -Amores Perros -Y tu mamá también 59. Casey Affleck Well, we have our first Affleck. Casey has really come into his own in the past five years. He's terrific in The Assassination of Jesse James, opposite Brad Pitt. -The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford -The Killer Inside Me -Gone Baby Gone 58. Cillian Murphy He has great relationships with directors Christopher Nolan and Danny Boyle. Two of the best directors alive know what Murphy is capable of. -28 Days Later... -Sunshine -Batman Begins 57. Tobey Maguire His defining role was in 2009's chilling film Brothers. The Spider-Man films launched his dying career. Now that those films are long gone, I'm eager to see what he latches onto next. -Brothers -Spider-Man -Spider-Man 2 56. Mel Gibson Gibson hadn't appeared in a film in five years

Now on DVD

In this segment I will cover the films that I've seen recently but haven't reviewed. All of these films are now available on DVD. There are only a handful of films (worth my attention) from 2010 that I haven't seen. So we can now start to focus on 2011. My top 50 films of 2010 are listed on the left side of the page, as well as every other 2010 film that I reviewed. I will give my thoughts on each film below, so if you're thinking about renting any of these films then please read. It's been a rough run of films in 2011, but some of the 2010 films mentioned below are quite good. Enjoy. 2010: The Next Three Days : While Russell Crowe (Cinderella Man, Gladiator) seems kind of out of his comfort zone here, this film has a good pulse from start to finish. It takes quite a bit before things start to get exciting, but it's worth it. This film isn't anything new, but it's a good popcorn action flick with some decent performances. (B-) Conviction : This was one o
