This year's Golden Globe Awards honored global box-office hit Avatar with its top trophies, best dramatic film and best directing honors for Canadian-born filmmaker James Cameron. The wins were a repeat of Cameron's Globes night 12 years ago, when Titanic won both the best drama and directing prize on its way to dominating the Oscars.
The victory raises the Titanic filmmaker’s prospects for another Academy Awards triumph for his science fiction epic, which so far has earned $1.115B, just $127 million shy of the $1.242B record foreign gross set 13 years ago by Titanic.
"It's such an exciting evening and walking in with all you great, amazing creative people … some of you I know and worked with and I just think, this is the best job in the world," Cameron said. "We all have the best job in world."
The comedy The Hangover won best comedy feature, while Robert Downey Jr. expressed complete surprise at garnering best actor in a comedy for Sherlock Holmes.
Jeff Bridges received a standing ovation as he received the accolade in the best dramatic acting category for his portrayal of a down-and-out country singer in the film Crazy Heart.
Meanwhile, actress Meryl Streep won best actress for her performance in Julie & Julia, while the Cecil B. DeMille Lifetime Achievement Award went to Martin Scorsese.
