Natalie Portman accepts the award for best performance by an actress in a motion picture – drama at the 68th annual Golden Globe Awards.
Tonight the Hollywood Foreign Press Association presented the 68th annual Golden Globe Awards, considered by many to be the second-most important film awards show of the year behind the Academy Awards. The ceremony this year was hosted by British comedian Ricky Gervais and proved that the Golden Globes can be a wild card just as often as they can predict the Oscars. On Friday, the Daily Bruin’s Alex Goodman predicted who would win these awards – tonight he compares his own picks to those of the Foreign Press.
