The hotness that is Helen Mirren cleaned up, as did Dreamgirls, Forrest Whitaker's movie that I always forget about, and Borat. E! Online has all the details.

Royalty was the order of the night at the 64th Annual Golden Globes, with major honors going to The Queen, The Last King of Scotland and Prince.
Helen Mirren continued her reign over the 2007 awards season with a pair of wins for Best Actress in a Drama and Best Actress in a TV Miniseries for her respective roles as Queen Elizabeth II in The Queen and Queen Elizabeth I in Elizabeth I.

Adding to his already considerable Oscar buzz, Forest Whitaker was crowned Best Actor in a Drama for his imposing turn as Ugandan dictator Idi Amin in The Last King of Scotland.

Titled types weren't the only standouts at Monday's Globes. Babel, which went into the awards with a leading seven nominations, was named Best Motion Picture, Drama, while Dreamgirls hit a high note with victories in three categories, including Best Motion Picture, Comedy or Musical.

Read on for more winner info, and how Beyonce got zilch.

Onetime American Idol reject Jennifer Hudson cemented her status as a bona fide movie star, winning Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture in recognition of her breakthrough role as Effie White.

Perhaps inadvertently, Hudson neglected to thank her Dreamgirls costar Beyoncé Knowles in her speech, while expressing her gratitude to just about everyone else involved with the production.
It was only the first of a series of slights for Knowles, who was also shut out in both the Best Actress and Best Original Song categories.

Eddie Murphy, on the other hand, joined Hudson in the Dreamgirls winners' circle, picking up Best Supporting Actor for his role as soul singer James "Thunder" Early.

In one of the more entertaining acceptance speeches of the evening, Sacha Baron Cohen, who won Best Actor in a Comedy or Musical for Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, offered irreverent thanks to his costar, Kenneth Davitian, with whom he shared a naked wrestling scene in the film.

"When my 300-pound costar decided to sit on my face and squeeze the oxygen from my lungs, I was faced with a choice: death, or to breathe in the air that had been trapped in a small pocket between his buttocks for 30 years," Cohen recalled.

"If it was not for that rancid bubble, I would not be here today."


I could have done without that, but it was nice that male-to-male face sitting was mentioned publicly at an awards show.

Meryl Streep's chilly turn as an evil fashion editor in The Devil Wears Prada earned the veteran thesp her sixth Golden Globe of her lengthy career, to which she alluded in her acceptance speech.

Martin Scorsese won Best Director for The Departed, increasing speculation that this could be the year the five-time Oscar nominated helmer finally takes home an Academy Award.


There ya have it. Helen Mirren and Meryl are fan-f*cking-tastic and deserve every award in the world. They're so good they deserve NAACP Image Awards despite being the whiteness. Jennifer Hudson can sing very deep and strong and she was the best part of that flick - so kudos to her ass. Good for Eddie Murphy. He was the other good part of that flick, and think of how many more transvestite hookers he can pick up with this newfound respect and recognition. Trannies love shiny things. Why did this year's awards leave me empty? I think it's going to be a boring-ass Oscars.
