It was Hollywood’s second biggest night for film and TV.
The big winner at Sunday’s Golden Globe Awards was „The Artist“ who took home trophies for Best Picture (Comedy) and Best Actor (Comedy) and Best Score.
Other big winners include Michelle Williams, who won Best Actress (Comedy) for portraying Marilyn Monroe in „My Week with Marilyn“ and George Clooney, who snagged a Best Actor (Drama) statue for „The Descendants,“ which also won Best Drama.
And what a night for New Jersey natives. Meryl Streep, of Summit, won Best Actress in a Drama for portraying Margaret Thatcher in the „The Iron Lady“ and Peter Dinklage, of Morristown, scored a Best Supporting Actor in a TV Drama Golden Globe for „Game of Thrones.“
Morgan Freeman was the receipient of this year’s Cecil B. DeMille Award for his multitude of achievements.
„In my movie career I got to save the world, solve some crimes, commit some crimes, drive Miss Daisy, be Nelson Mandela, play the president of the United States, and even God,“ Freeman recalled. „It’s been said that, if you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life. For the past 45 years or so I’ve never had to work, because my passion in life has always been acting. There have been 58 people before me to receive the DeMille award, people like Gregory Peck, Clint Eastwood,Sophia Loren, Henry Fonda, Mr. [Sidney] Poitier…So I am truly truly honored that you consider me worthy of being in that company.“
TV’s big winner was Homeland, which had wins for Best Television Series – Drama and Best Performance By An Actress In A Television Series – Drama (Claire Danes).
