Golden Globes'13: a playful ceremony


  • Five-star momentum by hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler who deserved a Golden Globe themselves.
  • European art-house film director Michele Haneke was handled the Globe for Best Foreign Feature by the hands of Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger.
  • Lincoln didn't win this war at all, except for Daniel Day-Lewis. Instead major categories went to Les Miserábles and Argo (thumbs up to Ben Affleck) although they both missed the writing trophy.
  • Ben Affleck evoked the absent Paul Thomas Anderson: "(...) I want to thank the many talented people that weren't nominated. Paul Thomas Anderson who's like, I think, Orson Welles. There are so many others."
  • One of the best moments of the night, the only person more surprised than you and me to hear "And the Golden Globe [for Best Screenplay] goes to... Quentin Tarantino, Django Unchained." was Quentin Tarantino himself. Christoph Waltz mirrored his 2010 win with Inglorious Basterds.


  • Lena Dunham and Girls took Best Actress, Comedy and Best Series, Comedy home the night season two premiered. Homeland swept off Best Series, Drama and Lewis and Danes went along. The actress confessed during the second season "Carrie was actually carrying [a baby]".
  • Jodie Foster gave a passionate speech, where she kind of came out for the first time in public and spoke about how she values privacy after 47 years in the movie business that turned her life into a reality show. Led everybody to tears when she addressed her sons, her mother and Cydney Bernard, "my heroic co-parent, my ex-partner in love but righteous soul sister in life".
