Surprise, surprise: there were no surprises at the Golden Globes 2012! Well, OK, may be there was one: Meryl Streep securing the Best Actress (Drama) for The Iron Lady. I really thought Viola Davis in The Help was a slam dunk for that award, but there you go.
The Artist emerged the biggest winner with three awards including Best Film and Best Actor in the Comedy or Musical category, plus the Globe for Original Score. It ended Sunday in the US with a running total of $8.8m at the US box office and £1.9m in the UK , and with BAFTA noms on Tuesday and the Oscar noms in a week’s time, the silent, black and white French wonder now has huge earning potential before it.
Next up was The Descendants: Best Film (Drama) and Best Actor (Drama) for George Clooney (his third Globe). This ended Sunday with $47.1m; it should see a small surge for the next few weekends. These wins also arrive just ahead of its UK launch.
No other film secured more than one win.
Along with Streep, several other old-timers did well: Christopher Plummer, Woody Allen and Martin Scorsese to name all three.
