GOLDEN GLOBES: STARS + BOOZE!

Dallas Buyers Club's McConaughey and Leto, Slave, Hustle Among Big Winners
12 Years a Slave took Best Picture, Drama and American Hustle won for Musical or Comedy at last night's Golden Globe Awards. Hustle also took trophies for Actress and Supporting Actress (Amy Adams and Jennifer Lawrence) in the comedic-film category.

Dallas Buyers Club co-stars Matthew McConaughey and Jared Leto scored Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor, respectively, in a Motion Picture, Drama. In addition to his team and co-stars, Leto acknowledged "the Rayons of the world."

Blue Jasmine’s Cate Blanchett won Best Actress, Drama; Leonard DiCaprio received Best Actor, Comedy, for The Wolf of Wall Street; Alfonso Cuarón took home the directing statuette for Gravity and Spike Jonze the screenwriting honor for Her. Disney’s Frozen won for Best Animated Film and Italy’s La Grande Belleza (The Great Beauty) for Best Foreign Film.

U2 won for Motion Picture Song ("Ordinary Love" from Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom), and in addition to honoring the recently departed subject of the film thanked Coldplay’s Chris Martin as a collaborator on the tune. Composer Alex Ebert took home the film-score trophy for All Is Lost.

As is often remarked, the movie Globe winners are highly predictive of the Oscar race, and we'll know more when the nominations roll in on 1/16.

Jasmine director Woody Allen was the recipient of the Cecil B. DeMille Award, with his longtime friend, muse and co-star Diane Keaton paying fittingly quirky tribute. (True to form, Allen declined to appear for the event.)

On the TV side, Stephen Soderbergh’s Liberace biopic Behind the Candelabra won for Best Miniseries and earned Best Actor honors for Michael Douglas. Breaking Bad won for drama series and leading man Bryan Cranston added another Best Actor trophy (his first Globe) to his substantial collection. Elisabeth Moss seemed surprised to be the Best Actress victor in the miniseries category (for the beguiling Top of the Lake). Co-host Amy Poehler won for Parks and Recreation. New sitcom Brooklyn Nine Nine and its star, SNL vet Andy Samberg, prevailed in the comedy category. Jon Voight and Robin Wright took supporting honors for Ray Donovan and House of Cards, respectively.

Tina Fey and Poehler fared well as co-hosts; among their best lines was the description of Gravity as "the story of how George Clooney would rather float away into space and die than spend one more minute with a woman his own age." Apart from Jacqueline Bisset’s weird, rambling acceptance speech (for supporting actress in a TV miniseries, Dancing on the Edge), Robin Wright’s double-side-tape wardrobe malfunction and some TelePromPter fumbles, there were few noteworthy non-award moments.

Said Fey at the evening's conclusion: "This is the beautiful mess we hoped it would be." 

Why are the Globes better than most awards shows? (1) No lame dance numbers and (2) booze at the tables.
