Here are my thoughts: PICTURE "Babel" "The Departed" "Dreamgirls" "Little Miss Sunshine" "The Queen" ACTOR Leonardo DiCaprio, "The Departed" Ryan Gosling, "Half Nelson" Peter O'Toole, "Venus" Will Smith, "The Pursu...

The Golden Globes have often been a dress rehearsal for the Oscars. Did any of tonight's winners help or hurt their chances? Probably not, though Whitaker comes awfully close. I'm not so sure. The View Ladies were gushing over how unrehearsed and genuinely grateful he seemed, and Academy members in...

Here are the top 10 entrants (according to the tie-break rule and, again, not counting the Animated Feature category): 1. Damien (24 points, 2 points in F...
