"The Insider" was backstage at the 67th Annual Golden Globe Awards, where Sandra Bullock reacted to taking home a Globe for her role in the big-screen drama 'The Blind Side.'
"Who would have thunk it," Bullock said of her big year. Bullock was named Best Actress for playing a well-to-do, conservative suburban woman who takes in a homeless teen. 'The Blind Side' is based on a true story about NFL player Michael Oher. "That is a man to be admired," the actress said of Oher. "He loves his family and he loves football, and that's how it should be."
Other big winners of the night included Jeff Bridges who won the Best Actor award for his portrayal of a faded country singer in ‘Crazy Heart.' Meanwhile, Christoph Waltz captured the Best Supporting Actor trophy for his chilling role in ‘Inglourious Basterds,’ and Mo’Nique won Best Supporting Actress for her powerful performance in 'Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire.'

Jeff Bridges Golden Globe
Latest news updates Jeff Bridges Golden GlobeAfter all, they chose Sandra Bullock for the box-office hit The Blind Side, Meryl Streep for the box-office hit Julie & Julia, and Robert Downey Jr for the box-office hit Sherlock Holmes. Crazy Heart, a drama about an aging country singer, has grossed about 1/1000th of what those movies made. Up in the Air, though hardly a gigantic hit, is doing quite well at the box office, and as I said before,George Clooney is, well, George Clooney.
The real big surprise of the evening, however, was James Cameron’s win. Again, that wasn’t a total surprise, mind you, but I believe that most people (including winner Cameron) were expecting to hear the name of The Hurt Locker’s Kathryn Bigelow despite her movie’s meager $12 million at the domestic box office. She’d have been a female best director winner (the second one, after Barbra Streisand), and it’d have shown that HFPA members are almost like movie critics in their discerning taste.
Jeff Bridges : Golden Globe 2010
A folksy looking and sounding Jeff Bridges (above, in Crazy Heart), not George Clooney (for Up in the Air), got the chance to thank family (including father Lloyd Bridges and his mother, who died last year), friends, and co-workers. Although Bridges’ win wasn’t a total surprise, many of us were expecting George Clooney, who looks more like the type of guy the Hollywood Foreign Press Association would go for.
