The 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards

The Artist's Uggie fetches a golden statuette!

I enjoyed watching tonight’s award ceremony! I thought that 2012 was a good year for movies in particular (especially in the Comedy or Musical genre) so I was looking forward to seeing some of my favourite films get the recognition they so deserve.

Highlights of the evening: The Artist winning Best Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical, Best Actor in a Comedy or Musical (Jean DuJardin) and Best Score. The Adventures of Tintin being named Best Animated Film, Martin Scorsese winning Best Director for Hugo, Woody Allen winning Best Screenplay for Midnight in Paris, Michelle Williams winning Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical for My Week With Marilyn, Queen Meryl Streep winning Best Actress in a Drama for The Iron Lady, Octavia Spencer winning Best Supporting Actress in a Drama for The Help, the legendary Sidney Poitier presenting the Cecil B. DeMille Award to Morgan Freeman (a.k.a God), and a few cute friendship moments (Tiny Fey photobombing fellow funny lady Amy Poehler, Joseph Gordon-Levitt clapping for presenter and 50/50 co-star Seth Rogan).

Additions to my ‘Need To Watch’ List: Modern Family, Downton Abbey, Mildred Pierce, The Iron Lady, and The Descendants

Best Reaction: Sir Elton John reacting to Madonna’s win in the Best Original Song category.

‘Better Luck Next Time’ award: Leonardo DiCaprio (I felt so bad for Leo. Please, just give him SOMETHING!)

MVP: Uggie, that playful and lovable Jack Russell Terrier from The Artist! He can play dead and excite the audience at the same time!

Best Dressed: Emma Stone in Lanvin. Also liked Zooey Deschanel’s tuxedo nails and what I saw of Kate Winslet, Viola Davis, Dianna Agron, Nicole Kidman, and Evan Rachel Wood.

Golden Globes 2011: Everything's Coming Up Chris Colfer!

Kicking off this year's awards season on Sunday night was the 68th annual Golden Globes, hosted once again by the blunt and quick-witted British comedian Ricky Gervais. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association bestowed numerous accolades to The Social Network, which received the evening's highest tally of "likes" in the profilic statuses of Best Original Score, Best Screenplay, Best Director and Best Motion Picture - Drama. Other highlights of the night included Colin Firth (The King's Speech) and Natalie Portman (Black Swan) cementing their reputations as the reigning King and Queen of the dramatic acting category, Christian Bale and Melissa Leo gaining points for their knockout supporting performances in The Fighter, Kaley Cucuo joyfully presenting the honour of "Best Actor in a Television Series - Comedy" to her co-star Jim Parsons, summer blockbuster Toy Story 3 winning the title of "Best Animated Feature Film" and the tribute to the extensive career of this year's Cecil B. DeMille Award recipient, Robert De Niro.

These ceremonies are designed to celebrate the remarkable achievements of those gifted talents involved in creating works which have successfully impacted entertainment audiences worldwide. That is why I believe that Chris Colfer's triumphant win for "Best Supporting Actor in a TV Series" was the most significant moment of the 2011 Golden Globes.

Colfer has garnered much attention for his portrayal of the vocally-talented and openly-gay teenager Kurt Hummel on Glee (this year's Best Television Series - Comedy or Musical), a character crafted for him by Glee producer Ryan Murphy with a broader perspective in mind - to serve as a positive role model for young people struggling to find respect in a society which hinders their need for individuality. The twenty-year old truly embodies his role down to the core, which is due to the bullying he endured in his own high school days. He has used his bad experiences as his inspiration for pushing towards a more open-minded and diversified future for our generation. Likenening himself to a Cinderfella of sorts, Colfer has risen from the torment of naysayers to become a critically-acclaimed actor in a topical, relatable television role, proving that with perseverance, you can overcome adversary and make your biggest dreams come true.

In his eloquent and compassionate acceptance speech, the ever so gracious and intelligent Colfer relays a powerful message to the show's young viewers, to whom he dedicates his performance to: "Most importantly, to all the amazing kids who watch our show, and the kids that our show celebrates, who are constantly told no by the people in their environments, by bullies at school, that they can’t be who they are or they can’t have what they want because of what they are. Well, screw that, kids!"

It has been a pleasure to watch Chris Colfer skyrocket his way to stardom over the past couple of years. Here's a guy who went from reminiscing upon his memories of making practice acceptance speeches in his bathroom with a wolverine action figure to actually winning one of those coveted awards! Everything's coming up Colfer, and I'm sure that this is just the start of a tremendously rewarding and impacting career for the young talent.
