Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street and Atonement were the big winners at the 65th Annual Golden Globes awards. Period drama Atonement, the on-screen adaptation of Ian McEwan’s novel, won best drama. Sweeney Todd took home the best comedy or musical award and its star, Johnny Depp, received the best actor in a musical or comedy Globe.
But there were no dithering acceptance speeches or cheesy one-liners presented by hosts. Because the Hollywood Foreign Press Association was unable to make a deal with the Writers Guild of America, which would have allowed the Globes to be televised without a picket line, the usual awards show glitz (stars paraded down the red carpet and industry parties galore before and after the champagne dinner) was replaced by a news conference. Award winners were read by television entertainment journalists from the shows The Insider, CNN’s Showbiz Tonight, E!, Extra, Inside Edition and Entertainment Tonight. HFPA president Jorge Camara presented the final award of the night. Full list of winners after the jump.
Al Schwartz, a 14-year producer on the event for Dick Clark Prods., described the event as a "kamikaze mission," arranging for the set, the presenters, clip packages and satellite trucks in two days. "It’s like anything in Hollywood: You have no time to get things done, but somehow you do."
…
When first driving up to the Hilton, it was a complete turnaround from the usual Globes frenzy. Things were so quiet that one wag said it looked like an outtake from "I Am Legend."
"It’s like a non-event," said Kyle Batty, a Beverly Hills Police Dept. officer who sat perched his motorcycle out in front of the hotel at the Wilshire and Whittier, eating a Starbucks pastry while gazing at the emptiness.
