"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
Migliore commedia/musical: Dreamgirls
Miglior regista: Martin Scorsese (The Departed)
Miglior attrice brillante: Meryl Streep (Il diavolo veste Prada)
Migliore attrice drammatica: Helen Mirren (The Queen)

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.
