So The Social Network remains supreme with the Hollywood Foreign Press winning four out of six awards-- it only lost in acting categories, which sadly proves a point that subtlety never wins awards.  Still it's a good showing for the usual suspects.  It's a shame when the biggest surprise is Best Foreign Film.

BEST SPEECH: Natalie Portman, who was cute and sincere and utterly charming, with baby bump and all.

runners-up: Melissa Leo, who appears slightly drunk (this is the Globes) but totally thrilled; her co-star Christian Bale, finally publicly speaking with his natural accent; and Annette Bening who closed her graciously polite speech with a sweet nod to her husband, the recipient of the 1962 Golden Globe for Most Promising Newcomer.
