72nd Annual Golden Globes Winners
With last night's airing of the 72nd Annual Golden Globes, the best films and TV series of 2014 finally received their accolades, painting a picture of what to expect from the Oscars next month. Like all awards shows, I disagreed with a lot of the selections, but ultimately agreed on the major categories. Boyhood, my absolute favorite film of 2014, won big with three awards for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture for Patricia Arquette, Best Director - Motion Picture for Richard Linklater, and the night's biggest award, Best Motion Picture - Drama. The momentum should carry over to the Oscars, but I wouldn't be surprised if Birdman swoops in and wins some more categories.

2014 Golden Globes Reactions
The conclusion of the year brings with it the beginning of the awards season in which many films are recognized for their endeavors. The 71st Golden Globes, held on Sunday, January 12, 2014 and hosted once again by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, revealed the victors for each of their many categories covering both film and television. However, focusing on the film aspect of this huge awards ceremony, 2013 definitely has produced a vast array of movies that all could be worthy of an award. Not all get the opportunity to bring home a much deserved trophy, though. Those who win seemed to be what the Hollywood Foreign Press Association viewed as the most notable for receiving an honor, and for the most part I failed to disagree with most of their decisions. In this article, you will find my reaction to most of the highly anticipated category recipients, and hopefully it will help justify the victories of each.
