Ooops, we already posted a bunch of acceptance speeches from last night’s 66th Annual Golden Globes, but one that we forgot and also loved, was Colin Farrell’s acceptance for Best Actor in the Comedy section for “In Bruges.” It was a great, humble and self-deprecating speech (check the self-flagellating drug dig) and his excellent performance in Martin McDonagh’s film (which artfully balanced vulnerability and comedy) as a suicidal hitman proved that he’s returned to be taken seriously as an actor and not just a tabloid dunderhead.

Updated Recap: Danny Boyle’s “Slumdog Millionire” was the big winner of the 66 Annual Golden Globes taking home four major awards including the coveted Best Picture and Best Director prizes. It’s nice to see something relatively small like a Fox Searchlight film blow all the majors out of the water. They’ve been doing a fantastic indie-major job for three years running now bringing little films that could like, “Little Miss Sunshine” and “Juno” to the big leagues.
