Did the 2012 Golden Globe winners go according to plan? Or were there any big surprises? Are the Oscar favorites more or less cemented right now? The Help, The Artist, The Descendants and Hugo proved they are early Oscar leaders, with each film taking home some hardware Sunday evening. The Artist ’s wins for Best Score and Best Actor for Jean Dujardin kept the critical favorite squarely in the driver’s seat as an early Oscar favorite. After winning Best Actor for The Descendants , George Clooney is the man to beat for the honor at the Oscars. That film was also the best drama. Best Motion Picture, Comedy or Musical went to The Artist , while Meryl Streep won Best Actress (shocker) as Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady . The Cecil B. DeMille Award for lifetime achievement went to Morgan Freeman (above), who received the honor from Sidney Poitier and Helen Mirren. On the TV side, Homeland, Modern Family and Downton Abbey were the big winners. Kicking off the night was a Ricky Gervais monologue that went after stars such as Justin Bieber and Kim Kardashian this year. So … there’s that. Here’s the list of Golden Globe winners for 2012: FILM Best Motion Picture, Drama The Descendants Best Motion Picture, Comedy or Musical The Artist Best Actress, Motion Picture Drama Meryl Streep, The Iron Lady Best Actor, Motion Picture Drama George Clooney, The Descendants Best Supporting Actor in a Motion Picture Christopher Plummer, Beginners Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical Michelle Williams, My Week with Marilyn Best Animated Film The Adventures of Tintin Best Screenplay Woody Allen, Midnight in Paris Best Supporting Actress in a Motion Picture Octavia Spencer, The Help Best Director Martin Scorsese, Hugo Best Actor in a Comedy or Musical Jean Dujardin, The Artist Best Foreign Film A Separation Best Song Masterpiece, W.E.
