Αν και πολύ συχνά τις αποκαλούμε «προάγγελους» των Οσκαρ, the Golden Globes that were presented on Sunday night (13 February) from the Los Angeles Foreign Correspondents Association, it often isn't.

Maybe the Daniel Day Lewis award for him «Lincoln» bringing him one step closer to a third Oscar (has already won for 'Blood Will Be Spilled' and 'My Left Foot') but what about Ben Affleck's Golden Globe Award for Best Director for "Business:Argo»; Affleck isn't even nominated for this year's Oscar for directing! The "Business: Argo", which has been showing in Greek theaters since last Thursday, also won the Golden Globe for best drama film, something that might increase its chances of a best picture Oscar. The political film seems to be the hallmark of this year's Golden Globes.

The film that collected the most awards was the "Wretches", the musical version of Victor Hugo's novel directed by Tom Hooper. The film won in the category of best comedy or musical, Best Performance by an Actor in a Comedy or Musical (Hugh Jackman as Giannis Agiannis) και στην κατηγορία β’ γυναικείας ερμηνείας (Αν Χάθαγουεϊ).

Σε γενικές γραμμές πάντως, most of the films that have received multiple Oscar nominations and were nominated at this year's Golden Globe Awards took from something. The ever-rising Jessica Chastain took home the Golden Globe for Best Performance in a Drama for her role as a CIA agent in «Zero Dark Thirty» by Kathryn Bigelow, The "Django the Punisher" by Quentin Tarantino walked away with two awards - best screenplay for Tarantino and best supporting actor for Austrian actor Christoph Waltz -, "Life of Pi" was awarded for Michael Dana's music and as expected, the «Rainfall» by Sam Mendes was singled out for the title song by Adele and Paul Epworth. The only distinction, end, of the film "Optimism Guide" was Jennifer Lawrence's award for Best Performance by an Actress in a Comedy or Musical. Michael Haneke's "Love" won the Golden Globe for Best Foreign Language Film.

The Foreign Correspondents' Association completely ignored the indie surprise "Creatures of the South" as well as Paul Thomas Anderson's already overrated "The master". The best animated film was considered "Brave" by the mighty PIXAR.

The best drama series was judged «Homeland» for which Claire Danes and Damien Lewis took home the awards for best actress and best actor in a drama series. The «Girls» was judged best comedy series and its star Lena Dunham received the corresponding award.

In the performance category of the best miniseries or TV movie, Kevin Costner took the award for the western series «Hatfields & McCoys» and Julianne Moore for "Game change».

Finally, in the secondary roles of television, Ed Harris won the Golden Globe for "Game change" and Maggie Smith for the extremely beloved in our country, "Downton Tower".
