The Golden Globe Awards took place earlier tonight, and the results for Avatar were the best we could imagine. Although it lost in the Best Score and Best Original Song categories, it won in those where it really counts.
James Cameron took home the award for Best Director (Motion Picture), and Avatar won the top award: Best Motion Picture (Drama). Cameron, Jon Landau, Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, and Sigourney Weaver all went up on stage to accept the Best Motion Picture award, where Cameron said that everyone there had the best job ever, and that they should applaud themselves. He ended by giving the true message of the movie in saying, “Avatar asks us to see that everything is connected. All human beings to each other, and us to the earth. And, y’know, if you have to go four and a half lightyears to another, made-up planet to appreciate this miracle of a world that we have right here, well y’know what: that’s the power of cinema right there. That’s the magic.”
It was a truly great night for Avatar, its cast, and the crew. Oscar speculation is already raging, and we’ll see if they get nominated when the list gets released on February 2nd.
