2014 Golden Globe Award Winners

I love the Golden Globe Awards.  Think "Oscars-light;" that is, much like the Oscars without all the flash and as Emma Thompson demonstrated, much more alcohol.  Unlike the Academy Awards, which can be a tad stuffy, most of the "celebrities" are enjoying food and cocktails during the 3-hour broadcast.

A couple of things I really like about the Golden Globes, aside from the brilliant Amy Poehler and Tina Fey, is it celebrates television and film equally.  Many times the Golden Globes are a good indicator who will walk away with an Oscar.

According to zap2it.com, last night's award telecast was watched by over 20 million people, up slightly from last year.

Here are the nominees and the winner (in bold print) from the 2014 Golden Globe Awards, thanks to zap2it.com:
