Posted 01.11.09 by reelz
11:40 PM And that wraps our live blog from the 2009 Golden Globes. Hope you enjoyed the coverage. Again, be sure to check out our
Full List of Golden Globe Winners.
11:35 PM The night's big winners from
Slumdog Millionaire are now backstage to discuss their big night.
Danny Boyle on the wins: "We never expected to be here, obviously, and it's incredible to be here. The Globes give us a platform that presents the film to the world. We release it Friday the 23rd in India. It's extraordinary to have this validation from Bollywood to Hollywood."
11:27 PM Kate Winslet backstage on her historic double win: "I was so shocked to win one. Honestly, I absolutely cannot believe it. It's amazing."
In a strange turn on the questions, a journalist follows by complimenting the actress on her nude scenes and asking her when men will do full frontal nudity like she has done. "Thank you so much," Winslet says laughing. "That was a really good segue. I have to duck out of that one. I can't answer that question. Sorry."
11:20 PM Backstage
Mickey Rourke is in good spirits. Rourke comments on his comeback: "I just kept trying to change and work hard and not slip back into my old ways. When I left the business I thought I could get back into it in two or three years and it took 13 or so. It was a long journey."
11:11 PM Make a wish. We now have the
Full List of Golden Globe Winners for you. We'll be waiting here in the press room for a little bit for a few reactions from the last winners of the night.
11:02 PM The show is wrapping up with the final awards of the night.
Mickey Rourke takes Best Actor for his exceptional performance as "The Ram" in
The Wrestler. And for Best Motion Picture? Well, it should probably come as no surprise at this point that it's
Slumdog's night.
Danny Boyle's breakout hit takes home four Golden Globes, including Best Picture and Best Director.
10:39 PM Kate Winslet is a double winner tonight, taking home the Globe for Best Actress for
Revolutionary Road in addition to her earlier Best Supporting Actress win for
The Reader. Winslet is beside herself, tearing up as she speaks and trying to pull herself together. Like millions of girls across the world, Winslet confesses her love for Leo as she thanks him for his work opposite her in
Road and
Titanic.
10:31 PM Sacha Baron Cohen, better known as Borat, Bruno, and Ali G, comes out to present the Best Musical or Comedy Motion Picture. Commenting on the recent economic issues, he makes a few jokes about the concessions being made by celebrities. "
Madonna has had to get rid of one of her personal assistants," Baron Cohen tells the audience. "Our thoughts go out to you
Guy Ritchie." Baron Cohen's underhanded remark gets a lukewarm reception from the room full of celebs.
10:27 PM Backstage
Sigourney Weaver comments on the possibility of returning to play Ripley in another
Alien movie: "I have to say I play a very dynamic character in
Avatar, so it was fun to go back into space. I think it's more satisfying to create something new. I love the
Alien films, but I think enough already."
