67th Golden Globe (2010) winners: 'Avatar' wins Best Picture and Best Director

Advertisements
The 67th annual Golden Globe Awards has just concluded last night, January 17, 2010, held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California, USA.

And as predicted, 'Avatar' won as Best Motion Picture-Drama and Best Director for James Cameron.

The movie however lost in two other categories.

'Avatar', which is now the 2nd highest grossing movie of all time with a worldwide gross receipts of $1,606,767,028, is also a strong Oscar 2010 contender.

'Up in the Air', starring George Clooney, had the highest number of nominations (a total of 6) but won only one award: Best Screenplay.

Michael C. Hall (the guy in photo), who has recently been diagnosed with cancer, has won as Best Actor In A Television Series for his outstanding portrayal of a serial-killer named Dexter Morgan in the series "Dexter".
