The outfits were - overall - pretty classy, but the tone was subdued and the show itself had very little pizzazz. Other than Jamie Foxx's acceptance speech for "Ray" and Robin Williams' mile-a-minute monologue when he was honored with the Cecil B. DeMille Award, the whole affair seemed to be lifeless. The 62nd Annual Golden Globes may actually go down in awards history as one of the most boring shows of its kind.
As far as the winners go, there were just a few surprises. Clive Owen and Natalie Portman took home best supporting honors for their roles in "Closer," which was a bit of an upset. Virginia Madsen ("Sideways") had been considered to be a favorite, and Thomas Haden Church and Jamie Foxx were thought to be in serious contention.
The Golden Globes are seen in more than 150 countries worldwide and are one of the few awards ceremonies that encompass both television and motion picture achievements.
