MICKEY ROURKE IS GOLDEN!

Golden Globes – The Winners! (Yes, Mickey Rourke won!)

by Atomic Clown on January 11th, 2009

The 66th Annual Golden Globes Awards are now history. Any hits or misses, in your view? I was shocked but happy to see Mickey Rourke win for Best Actor for "The Wrestler." I think he was, too. Now Mickey is a shoe in for the Oscar!!! Atomic Clown gave his movie a 5 star rating! Congrats Mr. Rourke.
A tearful Kate Winslet was charming when she gave her speech for winning Best Actress. Here’s the rundown, with the winners marked with asterisks. And I guess I’d better see "Slumdog Millionaire" before the Oscars!
