The Globes announced their winners, some are shocking and some are deserving. The Descendants won the best picture, It it a bad thing or good thing, well last year The Social Network won it and didn't win the Oscar, The King Speech did. the last before that Avatar won it and The Hurt Lokcer won the Oscars. but so It's still not clear who's the big winner at the Oscars, and The Artist also won. So It's getting really challenging between the two winners.

Clooney won acting. I haven't seen his film yet, but I have seen Pitt's film and he was outstanding, so can we say Clooney has it. I don't think so. Pitt, Micheal and Dujardi they might fight for it too. and Streep won actress, I haven't seen her work, so I can't judge yet. meanwhile Viola's performance was so good.

Spencer's acting in the supporting is so good, I guess It's her year, Plummer won acting in supporting I haven't seen his work yet, but Brooks's acting in Drive was amazing.

The biggest shock was Scorsese's winning best director. I thought It's Payne's award. and at the same time Midnight in Paris won screenplay. I thought it's between Moneyball and The Descendants.

Now let's go to the TV shows awards..

Homeland is the biggest winner of the night. Boardwalk Empire and Boss were way better and more brilliant. Boardwalk Empire's season 2 was one of the best seasons I've ever seen. Boss is the best new show on TV this year. Homeland is good don't get me wrong but the other two were amazing and still Breaking Bad hasn't been nominated yet which is the best show I've ever seen, the season was the best and everyone knows that. But as always the Golden Globes loves to award new shows, remember 24, Lost, Greys, Mad Men and last year winner Boardwalk Empire.

Modern Family has finally won after the overrated Glee won it twice in a row, Haven't seen Enlightened or New Girl so can't judge who should win. Meanwhile I saw Episodes and It's as good as Modern.

Kelsey Grammer won a lead actor performance. And that made my whole day. he was a true classic, did a brilliant act. but the underrated by The Globes Bryan didn't get it not even once wow. That's really a huge shame. Claire Danes won it too, and that's is a deserving award, she was brilliant in Homeland's first season.

Matt LeBlanc won for his hilarious performance in 'Episodes' a totally deserved award, I was rooting for him, after that for the amazing Duchovny and Baldwin. great category. The beautiful Laura Dern won the actress category, haven't seen her work yet, Laura and Tina were average. Haven't seen Zooey which she was what everyone rooting for. Amy is underrated in both Globes and Emmys.

Michael Pitt and Aaron Paul should have been nominated in the supporting category. meanwhile Peter Dinklage the short guy did an amazing job. Jessica Lange won in supporting actress category, I was rooting for the amazing Kelly Macdonald but as always the Globes love to reward the newest nominee.
