Not that anyone has ever taken the Globes seriously as a measure of artistic worth, but the awards are sometimes considered a possible indicator of future Oscar success. Sometimes, not always. In fact, I&#8217;m not even sure it&#8217;s all that often.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>I think it&#8217;s safe to say that &#8216;Boyhood&#8217; is also near the front of the pack for the Oscar race. &#8216;Grand Budapest Hotel&#8217;, however, may possibly score a Best Picture nomination but seems very unlikely to win, because Oscar voters typically don&#8217;t consider comedies to be important enough to be Best Picture material. Honestly, even though I thought the movie was a great deal of fun, I&#8217;m surprised it won the Globe for &#8220;Musical or Comedy,&#8221; which I expected to go to &#8216;Birdman&#8217;. (That&#8217;s not based on personal preference, but on what the buzz seemed to favor.)<\/p>\n<p>Other surprise winners include &#8216;How to Train Your Dragon 2&#8217; as Best Animated Feature over &#8216;Big Hero 6&#8217; or &#8216;The Lego Movie&#8217;, and Julianne Moore over Jennifer Aniston for Best Actress (Drama). <\/p>\n<p>In the television categories, both Best Drama and Best Comedy\/Musical went to new series: Showtime&#8217;s &#8216;The Affair&#8217; and Amazon&#8217;s &#8216;Transparent&#8217; respectively. FX&#8217;s excellent &#8216;Fargo&#8217; scored Best Miniseries\/TV Movie, trumping both the massively-buzzed &#8216;True Detective&#8217; and the so-terribly-important issue movie &#8216;The Normal Heart&#8217; (which won the Emmy). <\/p>\n<p>Tina Fey and Amy Poehler hosted the ceremony for the third (and supposedly final) year in a row, though they pretty much disappeared after the first half hour. Their opening monologue jokes were mostly tame, but they got in a couple of good digs at Joaquin Phoenix and George Clooney, and did a pretty ballsy bit about Bill Cosby that undoubtedly made former host Ricky Gervais (who turned up to present an award later) very proud. <\/p>\n<h2>Best Motion Picture, Drama<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8216;Boyhood&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>&#8216;Foxcatcher&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>&#8216;The Imitation Game&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>&#8216;Selma&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>&#8216;The Theory of Everything&#8217;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Winner: &#8216;Boyhood&#8217;<\/p>\n<h2>Best Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8216;Birdman&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>&#8216;The Grand Budapest Hotel&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>&#8216;Into the Woods&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>&#8216;Pride&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>&#8216;St. Vincent&#8217;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Winner: &#8216;The Grand Budapest Hotel&#8217;<\/p>\n<h2>Best Animated Feature<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8216;Big Hero 6&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>&#8216;The Book of Life&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>&#8216;The BoxTrolls&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>&#8216;How to Train Your Dragon 2&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>&#8216;The Lego Movie&#8217;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Winner: &#8216;How to Train Your Dragon 2&#8217;<\/p>\n<h2>Best Foreign-Language Film<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>&#8216;Force Majeure&#8217; (Sweden)<\/li>\n<li>&#8216;Gett: The Trial of Viviane Amsalem&#8217; (Israel)<\/li>\n<li>&#8216;Ida&#8217; (Poland\/Denmark)<\/li>\n<li>&#8216;Leviathan&#8217; (Russia)<\/li>\n<li>&#8216;Tangerines&#8217; (Estonia)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Winner: &#8216;Leviathan&#8217;<\/p>\n<h2>Best Director, Motion Picture<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Wes Anderson \u2013 &#8216;The Grand Budapest Hotel&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>Ava DuVernay \u2013 &#8216;Selma&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>David Fincher \u2013 &#8216;Gone Girl&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>Alejandro Gonz\u00e1lez I\u00f1\u00e1rritu \u2013 &#8216;Birdman&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>Richard Linklater \u2013 &#8216;Boyhood&#8217;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Winner: Richard Linklater<\/p>\n<h2>Best Actor in a Motion Picture, Drama<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Steve Carell \u2013 &#8216;Foxcatcher&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>Benedict Cumberbatch \u2013 &#8216;The Imitation Game&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>Jake Gyllenhaal \u2013 &#8216;Nightcrawler&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>David Oyelowo \u2013 &#8216;Selma&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>Eddie Redmayne \u2013 &#8216;The Theory of Everything&#8217;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Winner: Eddie Redmayne<\/p>\n<h2>Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Drama<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Jennifer Aniston \u2013 &#8216;Cake&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>Felicity Jones \u2013 &#8216;The Theory of Everything&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>Julianne Moore \u2013 &#8216;Still Alice&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>Rosamund Pike \u2013 &#8216;Gone Girl&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>Reese Witherspoon \u2013 &#8216;Wild&#8217;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Winner: Julianne Moore<\/p>\n<h2>Best Actor in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Ralph Fiennes \u2013 &#8216;The Grand Budapest Hotel&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>Michael Keaton \u2013 &#8216;Birdman&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>Bill Murray \u2013 &#8216;St. Vincent&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>Joaquin Phoenix \u2013 &#8216;Inherent Vice&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>Christoph Waltz \u2013 &#8216;Big Eyes&#8217;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Winner: Michael Keaton<\/p>\n<h2>Best Actress in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Amy Adams \u2013 &#8216;Big Eyes&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>Emily Blunt \u2013 &#8216;Into the Woods&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>Helen Mirren \u2013 &#8216;The Hundred Foot Journey&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>Julianne Moore \u2013 &#8216;Maps to the Stars&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>Quvenzhan\u00e9 Wallis \u2013 &#8216;Annie&#8217;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Winner: Amy Adams<\/p>\n<h2>Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture <\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Robert Duvall \u2013 &#8216;The Judge&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>Ethan Hawke \u2013 &#8216;Boyhood&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>Edward Norton \u2013 &#8216;Birdman&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>Mark Ruffalo \u2013 &#8216;Foxcatcher&#8217;<\/li>\n<li>J.K.
