2013 Golden Globe Winners Announced

Following the announcement of nominees and questions as to why Ben Affleck’s directorial talent was snubbed by Oscars with his movie “Argo”, the 2013 Golden Globe finally announced the winners on Sunday Night giving Affleck some form of vindication.

Ben Affleck took home the biggest victories from Golden Globe as he received the Best Director and Best Picture (Drama) for his movie. Les Miserables on the other hand took the Best Picture, Musical/Comedy.

As expected, Daniel-Day Lewis won the best actor award for his movie “Lincoln” while Jennifer Lawrence (yes the one from Hunger Games) won best actress for comedy/musical for the movie Silver Lining Playbook. For best actress drama, Jessica Chastain took it home for Zero Dark Thirty. The X-men hunk Hugh Jackman won the best actor comedy/musical award for his portrayal of Jean Valjean taking the award from Bradley Cooper. Other award won by Les Miserables includes best supporting actress for Anne Hathaway while Christoph Waltz won best supporting actor for Django Unchained.

As expected, Amour, a French movie about endless love won the best Foreign Language Film while Brave won the best animated film award. Adele’s “Skyfall” won the best original song as well.

For television, Golden Globe awards winners include best drama series for Homeland (Showtime) with Claire Danes and Damian Lewis taking home the best actor and best actress award, both from the same series. 

The 2013 Golden Globe awards were hosted by Amy Poehler and Tina Fey.
