Jeff Bridges, Sandra Bullock win acting honors at 2010 Golden Globes!


It was a night of the "underappreciated" as Hollywood longtimers Jeff Bridges, Sandra Bullock and Robert Downey Jr. win their first Globes in the star-studded affair hosted by Ricky Gervais. Even in the television categories, the consistently brilliant but usually underrated stars (Julianna Marguilles, Chloe Sevigny, Toni Collette) triumphed in the acting categories.



*BEST SPEECH OF THE NIGHT- Mo'Nique
"I am in the midst of my dream, and when I look into the eyes of the man that I stood next to at fourteen years old, and I said to him, 'One day we're gonna be stars,' and he said 'You first,' I love you more than you will ever know, baby."

*WORST SPEECH OF THE NIGHT- Drew Barrymore. She just rambled and rambled and rambled.

*FUNNIEST QUIP: Meryl Streep
"I just want to say, in my long career, I've played so many extraordinary women that basically I'm getting mistaken for one."

*MOST METAPHORIC SPEECH: Christoph Waltz.
He talked about stars and constellations and planetary orbits like a mad scientist and ended his speech with: "I wouldn't have dared dream my little world, my globe, would be part of that constellation, and now you've made it golden."


*MOST IRONIC SPEECH: Sandra Bullock
"(If I may steal from Michael Oher), I may not be the most talented, but I've been given opportunity,"
