Natalie Portman is my pick for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama with her role in Black Swan as a ballerina who so badly wants to be perfect that she ultimately goes insane. Portman lost a lot of weight for this role and made this film-goer believe she truly was a prima ballerina.This year seems to be a blessed one for the 29-year-old actress who, besides being nominated for a Golden Globe, is pregnant with her first child with her fiance, Benjamin Millepied, principal dancer with the New York City Ballet, whom she met on set.
Unfortunately, time hasn't been on my side the past few months, so I can't confidently predict the winner of the Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Drama category as I have only seen one of the five films. The Social Network was such a big let-down that, in fact, it put me to sleep. I do believe, however, that Colin Firth will nab the Globe for his role as a stuttering King George VI in The King's Speech. My favourite film in the Best Motion Picture - Comedy Or Musical category is The Kids Are All Right. The film is a look into the lives of a lesbian couple raising teen-aged children. The kids search, and find, their father, played by hottie Mark Ruffalo. The turn of events that ensue are quite interesting. It's a different film and refreshing amongst the usual, flat films that litter Hollywood throughout the year. Julianne Moore and Annette Bening are both very deserving of their nominations in the Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Comedy Or Musical category for their roles in this great film.
The red carpet will be rolled up soon, as the show begins in just a few minutes. For more information on this year's nominees, visit The Hollywood Foreign Press Association website, and enjoy the show!
