Misleading Hope for Inglourious Basterds!
So, last week I wrote about the Golden Globes, and how Avatar is going to steal everything from Inglourious Basterds.
Well, here's the good news: Inglourious Basterds won the SAG award for Best Ensemble last night! (Because the SAG awards only award performances, the top award is Best Ensemble, the de facto Best Picture.) The movie now has huge momentum heading into the Oscar race.
The news that makes it less impressive: Avatar, which downplayed actors' performances in favor of sci fi and CGI, was not nominated. Tarantino's opus beat out four other films. More than likely, when Oscar noms are announced (Tuesday, February 2), it will be Avatar and four underdogs.
If Inglourious Basterds is one of them, I'll be rooting for its unlikely victory.
Golden Globes Recap
This will be shorter and less detailed than my usual next-day awards show extravaganza. I had family visiting this weekend, and both my mom and aunt joined me for the Globes viewing, so we were able to crack jokes and comment on the clothes in real time, which sort of took away some of the excitement of doing it here. What can I say? SO SORRY INTERNET. We still have the Oscars.
