"All this he saw, for one moment breathless and intense, vivid on the morning sky; and still, as he looked, he lived; and still, as he lived, he wondered."

― Kenneth Grahame, The Wind in the Willows

Palle d’oro

Migliore film drammatico: Babel

Onestamente non ho visto nessuno di questi film, nemmeno The Departed che era comunque in programma, ma mi permetto comunque qualche osservazione, se non altro per il futuro…
– non potrei mai andare a vedere un film in cui c’è un uomo vestito così;
– tre premi ad un film che produce sfondi di scrivania promozionali come questo mi sembrano un po’ troppi, ma mi riservo di andarlo a vedere per giudicare;
– hanno un bel dire che i Golden Globe preludono agli oscar: Martin Scorsese non vincerà mai.
