Alright, so that's a wrap.  And I feel like my pulse is racing at the speed of light due to the expediency of that delivery.  Jeez, I had to run to the bathroom at one point and almost had a heart attack for fear of missing a few announcements.  Maybe that's the way to go, an awards show at break-neck speeds.

Anyway, the big winners in the Best Picture categories were "Atonement" and "Sweeney Todd," the latter of which is probably the only moderately surprising victor.  "American Gangster," "Juno," "Michael Clayton" and "Juno" came up emptihanded, while Daniel Day-Lewis, Julie Christie and Javier Bardem continue to dominate the season.  Then again, Julie Christie might want to check the rearview, as Marion Cotillard is hot on her tail after winning over Ellen Page tonight.

According the the HFPA website, the Coen brothers won Best Screenplay over Diablo Cody, in what one of our commenters considers a "HUGE upset."  I hardly would agree there, and would even call Julian Schnabel's win over the brothers a bigger surprise.  The HFPA website also indicates that Dario Marianelli took down Best Original Score for "Atonement," while "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" won Best Foreign Language Film, each of them matching "Sweeney Todd" and "No Country," therefore, with two wins apiece.

Alright, so I'm going to watch Matt Lauer's little special now, and try to get my head around the fact that I just saw Cris Collinsworth giving Golden Globes commentary.


Live blogging the ceremony (full list of winners at the bottom):

(6:59 PM) -- Well, "Atonement" REALLY needed this bump in momentum.  But without the guilds, it's going to be tough.  Dave Karger just mentioned the goose eggs, Best Picture hopefuls "Michael Clayton" and "There Will Be Blood" among them.

(6:59 PM) -- Hey, Day-Lewis used to be a shoe cobbler.  Can you pick up a pair?  Like, Air Day-Lewises?  That would be awesome.

(6:58 PM) -- Daniel Day-Lewis continues his precursor dominance on the way to -- Seriously, can't we say it now? -- a second Best Actor Oscar.  "I DRINKYOUR MILKSHAKE!"

(6:56 PM) -- A friend's response to the Julie Christie dialogue in her "Away from Her" clip: "Sounds like a plan!"  Hey, I thought it was funny.

(6:54 PM) -- I haven't seen "Mad Men" yet, though I downloaded it from itunes recently.  The Globes love to give awards to new series, so I guess that isn't surprising, right?  Is it a good show?  Eh?

(6:53 PM) -- Just found out "Guaranteed" won original song.  Was I in the bathroom or something?  Anyway, congrats to Eddie Vedder on that one.  A great soundtrack full of classic tunes.

(6:47 PM) -- Boy this thing is moving along quickly.  Anyway, "Sweeney Todd" puts a major dent in the hopes for "Juno" with a quasi-surprising win in the Best Picture comedy or musical category.  But the latter's box office success might still be enough to get it there for Oscar.  Then again, "Diving Bell" isn't looking like a slouch by any means.

(6:45 PM) -- No shock in Johnny Depp taking the win for Best Actor in a comedy or musical.  This might be seen as a boost to his Oscar hopes, but as commenter mickey points out, AMPAS ballots were due yesterday and this surge of steam for Dep and his film might be too little too late.

(6:43 PM) -- BIG surprise as Julian Schnabel leap-frogs the Coens for Best Director.

(6:26 PM) -- Dave Karger is on screen to discuss Cotillard and Bardem's wins.  Nothing from Dave yet on his "Atonement" prediction with an "Into the Wild" snub.  (Just joshing ya, Dave).

(6:25 PM) -- No surprise here, as Javier Bardem takes down the win for Best Supporting Actor.  It seems to be pre-ordained that Oscar will come his way next, but in this crazy game, anything can happen.

(6:19 PM) -- Ellen Page misses in favor of Marion Cotillard's "La Vie en Rose" performance for Best Actress in a comedy or musical.

(6:16 PM) -- The bad commentary continues as "Ratatouille" takes down Best Animated Film, as expected.  "Nothing appetizing about a rat cooking French cuisine."  Eesh...

(6:03 PM) -- The first feature film surprise of the evening is Cate Blanchett's win for "I'm Not There."  Amy Ryan has been on a precursor stampede as of late, so it's encouraging for Blanchett's Oscar hopes to win here.
