2008 Golden Globe Winners
(nominees and links too)

Well, the stars got a little screwed last night (not being able to garner accolades in person while clad in expensive clothes), and the City of Los Angeles lost millions of dollars (think about it, people.....Clothing stores, restaurants, make up, stylists, limo rentals, florists, all of them lost out on the usual business that accompanies these award ceremonies.)
However, that doesn't mean that the following weren't completely deserved of attention and kudos.

So, a big congrats to the winners (denoted by a star) and all the fabulous nominees. It was an amazing year for movies.
