The Golden Globes: spoils shared

No film won more than two awards at this year's Golden Globes. Only one real shock: Julian Schnabel picking up Best Director for The Diving Bell And The Butterfly, which along with its Best Foreign Film Globe should help it garner a wider audience worldwide.

Biggest winner of the night must be Sweeney Todd: two high-profile wins should help the bloody musical reach a bigger audience (so far it's under-performed).

Biggest loser must be No Country: two wins for Best Supporting Actor and Best Script is not much return for what is arguably the Coens' best film.

Brits did well again: Atonement taking two, plus Day-Lewis and Julie Christie winning their categories.

Looks like the Day-Lewis is on his path to Oscar glory. I hated Atonement though, and would like to see it fail, although I have a feeling this is a futile wish.
