Golden Globe Awards: Ben Affleck wins best director and Argo best motion picture

14 January, 2013

Prominent names and films lost out to smaller projects and directors who are yet to make a name in Hollywood during this year's Golden Globe Awards. Jodie Foster made the biggest news of the evening by coming out of the closet and giving a speech that moved many to tears. Fishtail gowns were the real heroes of the event. Thus Golden Globe was a huge success and one can only guess what it would be like in the Oscars.

‘ARGO’ TOOK the best motion picture home and Ben Affleck, who won the best director, said he doesn't care what award he wins as long as he is nominated with his fellow nominees. The actor-turned director has come a long way in Hollywood. The best Actor was bagged by Daniel Day for Lincoln, a film nominated for the Oscars as well. Jessica Chastain gave a heartfelt speech about her struggle and being in the 'sideline' for a long time after she won the best actress for 'Zero Dark thirty.'

Adele, who was looking lovely in her usual black gown, dedicated her golden globe for Skyfall song to her baby boy. Les Miserables actors Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway both bagged one Golden Globe each for Best Actor in a musical and Supporting Actress in a motion picture respectively. Homeland was crowned the best television series.

As far as fashion goes, the Golden Globe saw actresses glowing in fish tail gowns. Anne Hathaway, Claire Danes, Salma Hayek and Jessica Alba all were seen sporting the cut, which looks both classy and stylish. Jodie Foster came out as gay and people couldn't stop talking or tweeting about it. While many joked that Hollywood's worst kept secret is out, many saluted the woman, who won an achievement award, for her moving speech. Her boys, who were present in the award show beamed with pride when she acknowledged them and said, “Boys, in case you didn't know it, this song, like all of this, this song is for you.”
