That said, here is a complete list of the winners (thanks Comingsoon.net) and, of course, my two cents about who won.

BEST MOTION PICTURE – DRAMA
Winner: Avatar (20th Century Fox)
The Hurt Locker (Summit Entertainment)
Inglourious Basterds (The Weinstein Company)
Precious: Based on the Novel “Push” by Sapphire (Lionsgate)
Up in the Air (Paramount Pictures)

Despite the fact that they took out the hot and heavy blue sex scene in Avatar, it won best picture. My vote was for Up in the Air. Avatar was all about freaky blue people and although it was a great movie-going experience, it is flaccid when it comes to emotional connection. In other words, it was eyegasmic – and everyone loves a good eyegasm.

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A MOTION PICTURE – DRAMA
**Winner** Sandra Bullock – The Blind Side
Emily Blunt – The Young Victoria
Helen Mirren – The Last Station
Carey Mulligan – An Education
Gabourey Sidibe – Precious: Based on the Novel “Push” by Sapphire

I wanted Gabby to take this one, but I think Sandra was a good choice. She reached a broader audience and I have a feeling this trophy was based on seniority.

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A MOTION PICTURE – DRAMA
**Winner** Jeff Bridges – Crazy Heart
George Clooney – Up in the Air
Colin Firth – A Single Man
Morgan Freeman – Invictus
Tobey Maguire – Brothers

Have yet to see Crazy Heart, but I’ve heard nothing but good things about it. I’ve seen all the other movies that were nominated and out of those, Firth had my vote – mainly because his glasses in A Single Man has become a staple in my wardrobe (and my header).

BEST MOTION PICTURE – COMEDY OR MUSICAL
**Winner** The Hangover (Warner Bros. Pictures)
(500) Days of Summer (Fox Searchlight Pictures)
It’s Complicated (Universal Pictures)
Julie & Julia (Columbia Pictures)
Nine (The Weinstein Company)

No qualms here. The Hangover was brilliant. Second to that was (500) Days of Summer. I don’t know why Nine was on here.

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A MOTION PICTURE – COMEDY OR MUSICAL
**Winner** Meryl Streep – Julie & Julia
Sandra Bullock – The Proposal
Marion Cotillard – Nine
Julia Roberts – Duplicity
Meryl Streep – It’s Complicated

Duplicity? I forgot that movie came out this year.

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A MOTION PICTURE – COMEDY OR MUSICAL
**Winner** Robert Downey Jr. – Sherlock Holmes
Matt Damon – The Informant!
Daniel Day-Lewis – Nine
Joseph Gordon-Levitt – (500) Days of Summer
Michael Stuhlbarg – A Serious Man

Halfheartedly agree. I love Robert Downey Jr., but Sherlock Holmes I only liked. He has done better. I think I would’ve preferred Matt for this one – and based on his hilarious acceptance speech, I think Downey would’ve too.

BEST ANIMATED FEATURE FILM
**Winner** Up (Disney•Pixar)
Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs (Sony Pictures Animation)
Fantastic Mr. Fox (Fox Searchlight Pictures)
Coraline (Focus Features)
The Princess and the Frog (Walt Disney Pictures)

Perfect choice – but Fantastic Mr. Fox would’ve been perfect too.

BEST FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM
*Winner** The White Ribbon (Germany)
Baaria (Italy)
Broken Embraces (Spain)
The Maid (Chile)
A Prophet (France)

Missed a screening for The White Ribbon a couple months back. Now I am kicking myself.

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE IN A MOTION PICTURE
**Winner** Mo’Nique – Precious: Based on the Novel “Push” by Sapphire
Penelope Cruz – Nine
Vera Farmiga – Up in the Air
Anna Kendrick – Up in the Air
Julianne Moore – A Single Man

I may be Team Anna, but Mo’Nique broke it down in Precious.

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE IN A MOTION PICTURE
**Winner** Christoph Waltz – Inglourious Basterds
Matt Damon – Invictus
Woody Harrelson – The Messenger
Christopher Plummer – The Last Station
Stanley Tucci – The Lovely Bones

There’s not complaints in this department. All performances from the nominees were great but Waltz was an enjoyable asshole in Inglourious Basterds.

BEST DIRECTOR – MOTION PICTURE
**Winner** James Cameron – Avatar
Kathryn Bigelow – The Hurt Locker
Clint Eastwood – Invictus
Jason Reitman – Up in the Air
Quentin Tarantino – Inglourious Basterds

Bigelow was kinda robbed on this. Sure, Avatar is a great movie-going experience, but The Hurt Locker was just so poignant. And P.S. – Cameron’s hairdo was George Washington-chic.

BEST SCREENPLAY – MOTION PICTURE
**Winner** Jason Reitman and Sheldon Turner – Up in the Air
Neill Blomkamp and Terri Tatchell – District 9
Mark Boal – The Hurt Locker
Nancy Meyers – It’s Complicated
Quentin Tarantino – Inglourious Basterds

Did you not read my post on Reitman?

BEST ORIGINAL SCORE – MOTION PICTURE
**Winner** Michael Giacchino – Up
Marvin Hamlisch – The Informant!
James Horner – Avatar
Abel Korzeniowski – A Single Man
Karen O and Carter Burwell – Where the Wild Things Are

Loved Karen O and Carter Burwell’s work on WTWTA, but I guess the music of Up was just so darn heartwarming.

BEST ORIGINAL SONG – MOTION PICTURE
**Winner** “The Weary Kind (Theme From Crazy Heart)”; Music & Lyrics by Ryan Bingham and T Bone Burnett – Crazy Heart
“Cinema Italiano”; Mysic & Lyrics by Mary Yeston – Nine
“I Want to Come Home”; Music & Lyrics by Paul McCartney – Everybody’s Fine
“I Will See You”; Music by James Horner and Simon Franglen, Lyrics by James Horner, Sion Franglen and Kuk Harrell – Avatar
“Winter”; Music by U2, Lyrics by Bono – Brothers

Again, I didn’t see Crazy Heart so I can’t say much about that. However, “Cinema Italiano” was probably one of the only good things to come out of Nine.

BEST TELEVISION SERIES – DRAMA
**Winner** “Mad Men” (AMC)
“Big Love” (HBO)
“Dexter” (Showtime)
“House” (Fox)
“True Blood” (HBO)

**Winner** Julianna Margulies – “The Good Wife”
Glenn Close – “Damages”
January Jones – “Mad Men”
Anna Paquin – “True Blood”
Kyra Sedgwick – “The Closer”

Don’t watch The Good Wife, but it must be good of Julianna beat out the cold, robotic glaze of Betty Draper.

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A TELEVISION SERIES – DRAMA
**Winner** Michael C. Hall – “Dexter”
Simon Baker – “The Mentalist”
Jon Hamm – “Mad Men”
Hugh Laurie – “House”
Bill Paxton – “Big Love”

Dexter is another show that I should be watching.

BEST TELEVISION SERIES – COMEDY OR MUSICAL
**Winner** “Glee” (Fox)
“30 Rock” (NBC)
“Entourage” (HBO)
“Modern Family” (ABC)
“The Office” (NBC)

I was so excited when they won that I peed in my pants.

**Winner** Toni Collette – “United States of Tara”
Courteney Cox – “Cougar Town”
Edie Falco – “Nurse Jackie”

Love the show. Love Toni.

**Winner** Alec Baldwin – “30 Rock”
Steve Carell – “The Office”
David Duchovny – “Californication”
Thomas Jane – “Hung”
Matthew Morrison – “Glee”

I keep up more with The Office, so I would’ve liked to see Michael Scott take the Globe home.

BEST MINI-SERIES OR MOTION PICTURE MADE FOR TELEVISION
**Winner** “Grey Gardens” (HBO)
“Georgia O’Keeffe” (Lifetime Television)
“Into the Storm” (HBO)
“Little Dorrit” (PBS)
“Taking Chance” (HBO)

No other made-for-TV movie made me laugh so hard and then kind of feel guilty afterward.

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A MINI-SERIES OR MOTION PICTURE MADE FOR TELEVISION
**Winner** Drew Barrymore – “Grey Gardens”
Joan Allen – “Georgia O’Keeffe”
Jessica Lange – “Grey Gardens”
Anna Paquin – “The Courageous Heart of Irena Sendler”

**Winner** Kevin Bacon – “Taking Chance”
Kenneth Branagh – “Wallander: One Step Behind”
Chiwetel Ejiofor – “Endgame”

**Winner** Chloe Sevigny – “Big Love”
Jane Adams – “Hung”
Rose Byrne – “Damages”
Jane Lynch – “Glee”
Janet McTeer – “Into the Storm”

Chloe is cool, but it would’v been AWESOME to see Jane Lynch walk away with an acting trophy for Glee.

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE IN A SERIES, MINI-SERIES OR MOTION PICTURE MADE FOR TELEVISION
**Winner** John Lithgow – “Dexter”
Michael Emerson – “Lost”
Neil Patrick Harris – “How I Met Your Mother”
William Hurt – “Damages”
Jeremy Piven – “Entourage”

Again, I need to watch Dexter – but since I don’t, I wanted NPH to win.

It took me a long time to jump on the GG bandwagon. In fact, I didn’t start watching it until after the writer’s strike. One day, I gave in. I watched the first episode and from the first breathy X-O-X-O, I was hooked. I loved S. I loved B. I loved how B was the biggest bitch. I loved the headbands. I loved Chuck. I loved his slimy dandyism. After I completed the first season, (which I watched in one entire sitting mind you) I was craving more. I loved to see these rich kids get into a whole lotta mess – because they deserved it. It was hot. And the fact that Georgina (Michelle Trachtenberg) was even a bigger bitch than Blair (Leighton Meester) – and I didn’t even think that was possible – was the icing on the cake. Well, they were in different bitch categories, Blair was more of a in-your-face bitch whereas Georgina is a sneaky bitch and would screw up your life with her two face antics.

Even this soft core porn ad couldn’t bring me back to the show

When I started watching season 2, I felt the wane. Lil J (Taylor Momsen) got annoying. Really annoying. Her smoky eyes made her look like a “Joan Jett: The Musical” understudy. Then everything just got muddled and blah. Dan (Penn Badgley) was becoming a little punk. Nate (Chace Crawford) was becoming an Abercrombie & Fitch wuss and the only thing interesting about him was his man bangs. And don’t even get me started on Serena (Blake Lively). Boring with a capital yawn. The only one worth watching was Chuck (Ed Westwick) – well, I just liked his outfits.

The same goes with Heroes. I was enthralled with it’s X-men meets Lost mythology, but then that whole thing called season 2 happened and I just couldn’t handle Hayden Panittierrerererere and her lack of personality – not to mention Milo and his crooked-mouthed yelling.

There are some that I just stop watching because of no particular reason. I just don’t make them a priority anymore. I mean, I loved 30 Rock – but I just stopped watching. Same goes with Eastbound and Down and Flight of the Concords – I loved those shows. Unfortunately, they just fell off my radar. It’s like that friend from college you lost touch with. You wouldn’t mind running into them down the road.

Then there is Mad Men. This show is like the friend I let down. The dad I disappointed. I watched season one and was totally enthralled. Then, I didn’t even bother with season two; knowing damn well I was disappointing the show. It’s like the lover I abandoned after a raunchy one-night stand.

There are plenty of other shows that have either fell through the cracks or I just don’t want to bother with anymore: Skins, the new 90210 and now Nurse Jackie – and that hasn’t even been on a full season. Talk about short attention span.

Luckily I have shows that constantly keep me satisfied like a reliable hooker: Lost (of course), The Office, How I Met Your Mother, United States of Tara, Glee (one episode and I was HOOKED) and most recently, I jumped on the True Blood bandwagon (and these don’t include my reality show obsessions. Yes, I watch A LOT of TV).

If you look at the aforementioned list they either have one of the following: 1.) constant development of an intriguing storyline that keeps you guessing (can you say DHARMA INITIATIVE?) 2.) humor that is clever and smart (please reference any episode of HIMYM or The Office) 3.) Crazy-ass characters set in a blood-sucking small town in Louisiana or 4.) a woman with dissociative identity disorder and her dysfunctional family.

Who knows? With shows coming in and out of the woodwork, my interest may change yet again. Oh wait – gotta go – The Bachelorette is on.
