She’s been nominated for five Oscars and five Golden Globes and never won, until tonight. Kate Winslet swept the dramtic film actress categories, winning for “Revolutionary Road” and “The Reader.”

“Slumdog Millionaire” is far and away the frontrunner for Best Picture in February at the Academy Awards now, with its Picture/Director/Writer/Score sweep Thursday at the Critic’s Choice Awards and tonight again at the Golden Globes.
Mickey Rourke countered Sean Penn’s Thursday night win with a win tonight at the Globes, proving that Best Actor is a two-man race. And “The Dark Knight” director Christopher Nolan had the task of reminding the crowd of his supporting actor’s great talent by accepting Heath Ledger’s award both nights. Here’s the winners of the 66th Golden Globes:

Also: 30 Rock and John Adams won a bunch of TV awards, Seth Rogen joked about doing cocaine with Mickey Rourke, Rourke used the word “balls” a bunch in his speech, his director Darren Aronofsky flipped him off, Sacha Baron Cohen called ex-husband Guy Ritchie one of Madonna’s assistants, and “Slumdog Millionaire” producer Christian Colson closed out the night with what I’m pretty sure was the “f” word. Did I mention that everybody’s drinking at the Globes?

Still my favorite shout-out of the night was Ricky Gervais, after Kate had won her first award for “The Reader,” who joked about an episode of his show “Extras” where  Winslet–playing herself–talks about how people in Holocaust movies have “Oscars coming out their ass.” “Well done, Winslet,” he said, pointing to the actress while standing at the podium with a beer in his hand. “I told you. Do a Holocaust movie and the awards come, didn’t I?” She guested on that series’ best episode.

The 66th Annual Golden Globes Awards nominees were just announced this morning.

Thanks to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, it looks like Sam Mendes’ “Revolutionary Road” is back in business, as is “Benjamin Button.” As much love as they gave to “Button,” though, they left out perennial Golden Globe favorite Cate Blanchett. “Milk,” which swept the NY Film Critics poll, only gets one nod, for Sean Penn? “The Dark Knight” gets only one nomination, and it’s for Heath Ledger? Tom Cruise gets one for his over-the-top studio boss in “Tropic Thunder”! Kate Winslet and Meryl Streep have two each, and James Franco gets one for “Pineapple Express” but not “Milk”? Brad Pitt’s nomination for Best Actor for “Button” has to be a surprise. He’s gotten no attention in that category before now, and that spot will surely go to someone else at the Oscars. (Perhaps Richard Jenkins in “The Visitor”?) I think they should have nominated Pitt instead for his comedic role in “Burn After Reading.” Ralph Fiennes snuck in the Best Supporting category for “The Duchess.” And it looks like the Lifetime Achievement Award will go to someone named Steven Spielberg. Here is a running tally of all the awards and nominations so far leading up to the Oscars in February.
