2009 Golden Globes

Kate Winslet stole the show with two motion picture drama awards: Best actress for Revolutionary Road, directed by her husband Sam Mendes, and best supporting actress for The Reader.

An emotional Kate asked to be excused for her flustered state: “Forgive me, I have a habit of not winning things.”

Both nominees, Brad and Ange missed out on best actor and actress statuettes this year. But somehow they always manage to be the coolest couple wherever they are.

Ange was one of many actresses draped in silver/metallic fabric. What do you think? Rate this dress, and others ahead, using the star-scale on the left, below the picture.

30 Rock took out the award for Best Television Series — Musical or Comedy. Pictured are stars Alec Baldwin, Jane Krakowski, Jack McBrayer, Tina Fey and Tracy Morgan.

Alec and Tina took out the best actor and actress in a comedy/musical TV series. In her speech, Tina addressed her internet critics in a manner befitting the comedienne of the moment… She told them to “suck it!”

The 59-year-old rocker showed he’s still got it, with his award-winning song written for the film, The Wrestler.

The Wrestler also received a best actor award. In his speech, Mickey thanked director Darren Aronofsky, calling him a “tough son of a b—-“. Darren responded with a friendly middle-finger salute!

What do you think of the outfit, though? Designer or disaster? Rate it yourself!

The 78-year-old director of Changeling, and director and star of Gran Torino, Clint seems to never run out of energy or ideas!

A prolific Glenn Close, meanwhile, is currently starring in the second season of TV thriller Damages alongside Aussie Rose Byrne.

And Glenn’s another to add to the silver/gold outfit list!

There were fewer Aussies than usual at the awards this year, but The Mentalist‘s Simon Baker was one of them, looking as dreamy as ever!

These two stars of nominated TV drama Dexter have played brother and sister for three seasons. But in real life, they just tied the knot!

Director Danny Boyle, along with actors Freida Pinto and Dev Patel, really cleaned up at the Globes! Slumdog Millionaire won best director, best original score, best screenplay, and best motion picture drama.

Notorious badboy Colin Farrell seems to have discovered a softer side, giving a long and curiously emotional speech about love and, er, curiosity.

The Doubt co-star lost the award for best actress in a motion picture supporting role to Kate Winslet…

Did Amy also miss the mark with her rather grandiose choice of frock? Rate it yourself!

Another in the series of black frocks, Renée’s see-through number is making worst-dressed lists everywhere. But don’t be swayed — have your say!

Best actress-nominated Meryl lost out to Kate Winslet… but who didn’t?

She’s come a long way since playing the little girl in The Nanny, playing a supporting role in the very grown up Globe-nominated TV comedy series Californication alongside David Duchovny.

Now for some more shades of precious metals — this time from pop singer Beyoncé.

A vision in gold, Megan went to town on the red carpet, striking pose after carefully choreographed pose.

Aussie Rachel, star of TV’s Brothers and Sisters, followed the gold trend with gusto. A little too much, perhaps?

One lady who didn’t lose out to Kate Winslet was Laura, who won Best Performance by an Actress for the mini-series John Adams. Her dress was also in the gold viscinity.

And now for the white dresses — and with those come the unavoidable comparisons with wedding cakes…

…and bed ruffles.

Australia’s only contender this year was Melissa, nominated for her role in TV drama In Treatment. We’re into the blue end of the spectrum now…

There was Drew in baby blue…

Nominated for her performance in cutting-edge TV dramady Weeds, Mary-Louise opted for a royal blue frock.

And in navy silk was Debra, also nominated for best actress for her TV comedy series The Starter Wife.

Maggie’s post-baby body is fab, but what do you think of this blue leopard print number? Elegantly off-beat or 1980s bridesmaid?

In a sea of silver, gold and blue stood Eva’s dramatic, yet classic, red dress.

Finally, in aubergine, Demi Moore and Bruce Willis’ eldest daughter was this year’s Miss Golden Globe.
