Clooney, Streep big winners at Golden Globes

Los Angeles (CNN) -- George Clooney and Meryl Streep appear to be main contenders in the 2012 Hollywood award season after Sunday night's Golden Globes. But the winners of the best film drama actor honors face competition from a silent film star and an actress who brought Marilyn Monroe back to life.
Clooney's "The Descendants" won for best drama film, while Clooney received the best actor in a drama film award.
"The Artist," a black and white silent movie, was chosen best comedy or musical film, while its lead Jean Dujardin won best actor in a comedy or musical movie. The movie's music also won for best original film score.
The Globes set the stage for a Meryl Streep versus Michelle Williams best actress showdown at the Academy Awards in six weeks by handing both women best actress honors.

Streep won the drama film best actress Globe for her portrayal of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in "Iron Lady," while Williams carried home the comedy or musical film Globe for playing movie legend Marilyn Monroe in "My Week With Marilyn."
Since the Globes separates dramas from comedies -- unlike the Academy Awards -- Williams, Streep, Clooney and Dujardin were not competing against each other in the 69th annual Golden Globes award show.
"Thank you to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association for putting in my hand the same award that Marilyn Monroe herself won over 50 years ago," Williams said in her acceptance speech.
Oscar nominations will be revealed later this month and the Academy Awards follows at the end of February.
Other films expected to be Oscar contenders also got a share of the Globes spotlight.
Woody Allen's "Midnight In Paris" lost out to "The Artist," but Allen did win for best film screenplay.
The 3-D family movie "Hugo" was also passed up, but Martin Scosese got the best director award for making the film.

Comment:

I think George Clooney is a very talented actor, his movie won the best drama film golden globe award and he received the best actor in a drama film award. I like this new because it is about the Golden Globe Awards. I like those awards because a lot of good actors go there. Clooney is always nomitated for an award. I think Clooney is going to won at least one Oscar Award. The awards nominate the movies and tv series as well.
