The Hollywood Foreign Press loves real women. Two big winners at the Golden Globe Awards include Jennifer Hudson for Supporting Actress in DreamGirls, and America Ferrara for Best Actress Musical or Comedy. As well, America's show Ugly Betty, produced by Salma Hayek, won Best Series Musical or Comedy.
Woo-hoo! Hurrah! Boo-yah!!! Jumping up and down in ecstasy!
What is fantastic about Jennifer and America winning is that they were chosen by the press. Realistic looking characters are making it big. Things are changing. Oh yes, they are. As I said in my 2007 predictions, authenticity is the new pretty.
Lastly, I was thrilled that Kyra Sedgwick won Best Actress, TV Drama for The Closer. I love that show! Kyra is incredible as Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson, a tough yet compassionate cop and leader.
