Golden Globe Award Winners 2006

In another step towards this February’s Oscar ceremony, half of last night’s Best Performance awards at the 2006 Golden Globe ceremony, were taken by black actors:

Forest Whitaker took Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama, for Last King of Scotland
Eddie Murphy was awarded Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture, for Dreamgirls
Jennifer Hudson got Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture for Dreamgirls

It remains to be seen if this is a trend we’ll see repeated at Hollywood’s most prestigious awards ceremony next month.
In a nod to two doyens of the big screen, let’s not forget to raise a glass to Helen Mirren who took the Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture – Drama, for The Queen.
