Speaking of spoilers, Golden Globe organizers have apologized for prematurely suggesting that actress Anne Hathaway won Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture - Drama - for her performance in Rachel Getting Married.
"In the process of preparing for Sunday's Golden Globe Awards, a technician working on the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's (HFPA) website made a mistake and a name of a nominee was randomly marked as a winner. The mistake was immediately corrected."
"The ballots are tabulated by the accounting firm of Ernst & Young LLP. Only four executives of the accounting firm know the identity of the winners before the envelopes are opened and recipients are announced during the live telecast. No one else, including the members of the HFPA, knows who the winners are prior to the live announcement."
So officially, it was a technical mistake signifying nothing. However, on Thursday night Ms. Hathaway tied with Meryl Streep for Best Actress at the Critics' Choice Awards. We will soon see.
The big winner that night was Danny Doyle's film 'Slumdog Millionaire,' earning 5 awards including Best Film and Best Director. [Critics' Choice Results][iTunes 'Slumdog Millionaire' Soundtrack, Podcast]
