Hobbits And Cubicle Drones Win Big At The Globes

The Golden Globe Awards were as unpredictable as ever last night, with the critically acclaimed Cold Mountain getting all but shut out despite leading the field in nominations, and the final installment of the Lord of the Rings trilogy taking home four awards, including best dramatic film and best director for Peter Jackson. On the television side of the slate, the satirical BBC sitcom The Office, which airs only on a little-known cable network in the U.S., was the surprise winner of best comedy, and also garnered an acting award for the show’s creator and star, Ricky Gervais.
